“This is nice, isn’t it?” Humphrey says to the table cloth. “Spending time with each other. Going abroad.”
“Hm,” I reply, hoping the vague affirmative will put him off further conversation, and I can go back to thinking about the map my Mother left me. But then Humphrey keeps talking.
“I can’t say I’ve ever travelled further than London - to London, I mean. Father and I made a habit of going af...
She intertwined her hand with his, staring at him dreamily. She had wanted this moment to come for oh-so long, and now it was finally here, him and her taking a walk on the most beautiful cliff in the entire state of Maine.
But he was distracted by the edge of the cliff, staring at it, his gaze not breaking.
“Hey,” she whispered, tracing his neck with her fingers. “What’s wrong?”
He shook his...
Today was my wedding day, I was happy but nervous at the same time. I wasn’t nervous about the wedding itself, it was the after the wedding that made me nervous.

I was nervous but I need him. I walked down to him, as soon as he...
I finally realized why I loved mornings. What could beat waking up to see her peacefully sleeping on my side? Not even that beautiful sunrise would. If anything, it just made the scene much brighter.
As always, I would wake her up with some nice compliments. Gas her up a little bit and she would start blushing. That smile. It always took me to a happy place. Eventually she would hit me with a pill...
He’s never looked at me this way before.
I haven’t seen him in a year and I’m still head over heals. But this time, I think he is too.
There’s something different about him. A good different. He’s polite and caring. His mannerisms have gone from high school boy to man. He pays attention when someone speaks as if each word is piercing his heart. I think I can get used to this.

I’m gay.
It took me several years to realise this. What’s more is that I am cursed with the incorrigible shyness. It’s like a being a secret agent and not being allowed to tell anyone that I’m... you know... secret.
I have a crush on a friend. It’s one of those dilemmas. He is someone I have got to know over my younger years and as we’ve grown, our bodies have also grown. During PE, I get to see...
She hadn’t been on a date in 27 years and to say she was a bit nervous was kind of like saying someone was a bit pregnant. Beth had been a widow for three years now and had been separated from Eric for two years already when he was killed in a motorcycle accident. Their separation had been amicable, both agreeing the marriage had run its course, but neither of them had begun the divorce process....
“When two souls fall in love, there is nothing else but the yearning to be close to the other. It is hard to be away from the person that you love. You miss them terribly and long to be in their presence. You feel overwhelmed with joy once you are finally reunited with your love one or your significant other again at last. The presence is felt through a held hand, a voice heard and the sight of a ...
