Until drama walks right through the door. Laiken. The one who got away. Or I pushed away, I can barely remember. She's looking fine in that police uniform. I wonder if she'd let me use those cuffs on her. But we can't be together. A patched member and a cop? No. But you know what they say. The heart wants what it can't have.

Die Lok stand bereit auf ihrem Gleis. Von Zeit zu Zeit stieß sie drohend Rauch aus, wie ein Drache. Die Menschen waren in Eile, in ihrem Schlepptau die Gepäckträger. Das hektische Tun kam seinem Höhepunkt nahe, als es noch ein paar Minuten bis zur Abreise war. London war zu dieser Zeit der berühmte Nebelkessel, man konnte kaum seine eigene Hand sehen, wenn man auf den Straßen Londons spazieren ging. Es würde eine ausgezeichnet fantastische Reise werden.

In many respects, the early Christians were more inclusive of women in their institutional affairs than other sects. This may be due to the fact that women were numbered among the earliest disciples of Jesus. These women had a voice, and they could open an independent inquiry into many aspects of religion and religious laws.

Ich hole zur Zeit die Tanzschule nach. Dort hat man mir eine sieben Jahre jüngere Tanzpartnerin zugewiesen, da ich selber im Moment keine Freundin hatte. Sie hat schon in einem anderen Kurs ihren festen Tanz(!)Partner. Wir waren uns eigentlich schon von Anfang an sympathisch. Wir waren jetzt vor kurzem über die Tanzschule (ermäßigte Karten) nach Hamburg zum Phantom der Oper. Sie hatte schon vorher Bemerkungen gemacht, dass ihre Eltern den Tag nicht da sind.

Wir waren im Sommer zu viert im Urlaub, meine Frau, mein Sohn, seine Frau und ich. Der Strand in Italien war schön, das Wasser sehr warm und das Wetter insgesamt sehr gut. Das hatte zur Folge, dass auch die Stimmung sehr gut oder ausgelassen war. Meine Schwiegertochter, sie heißt Ruth, ist eine bildschöne junge Frau, Ende 20, sehr schlank und sportlich und wirklich gut gebaut und recht lebhaft. Ich kann mich mit fast 50 Jahren auch sehen lassen und bin auch in jeder Beziehung leistungsfähig.

At the edges of everyday life, on geographical boundaries and in the margins of society, certainties and realities can wear thin. And if we find ourselves in such occult and outland territory late at night, we might glimpse phenomena out of the corner of our eye that cannot possibly be there. At such times even the past, apparently fixed and unchanging in memories and dreams, cannot be relied upon. But what happens if we find ourselves passing beyond even these frayed perimeters of life? Can others follow us, or are we on our own?

That's it. I've had enough. My new neighbor has been sending threatening letters for months and is now suing me. He's trying to force me to remove the beehives from my backyard. (What kind of jerk doesn't understand how important bees are?) It turns out he's some famous quarterback named Gabriel "Beauty" Bardales. (Why do jocks give each other dumb nicknames?) He wants my beehives removed because he claims the bees are interfering with his guesthouse swimming pool.

I'm good at exactly two things: motocross racing and casual sex. Or I was good at the second one until I met Lucy Salcido. She's a reporter for MotoRacer magazine, and she's been "embedded" with my team ever since I came out of nowhere to lead the championship series this year. Having her around all the time has definitely put a crimp in my style. It's tough to pick up a new girl after every race when Lucy's there, watching me. Judging me. And it doesn't help that she's the girl I really want.

I was kind of a genius normally. I'd managed to graduate early and was about to open my own veterinary clinic in my home town of Hell. I clearly had my life together. Until Blaze came back to town, moving slower than a sloth on crutches, more wounded emotionally than physically. We ended up bonding over stray dogs, exes from hell, and oddly enough, shared grief. But helping him get his life back together could cost me my heart . . . and destroy his friendship with my brother.

Apparently, conservative Midwestern voters want more than my brains, connections, and good looks to vote me in as a congressman. That's right, to appear as the all-American family man they want . . . I need a wife. ASAP. The lovely Odette Hastings seems to fit the bill. She's a wholesome small-town girl, and conveniently in need of cash.

The only problem is Odette is a little too beautiful, a little too intelligent, and way too distracting.
