Most are extremely brief, all will be stand-alone vignettes, completely unhindered by plot. ;-) Some sweet, some bittersweet, some humorous, some poignant, all romantic.

Thanks, lj

This is a Kincaid story. You need to have read "A Fine and Private Place" to understand where this starts. I began writing it a year ago just before Lady of Dodge died.
