Answers to your Questions:
I have gotten quite a few PM's with questions on this one... enough that I thought I would comment on it!
Was the book or movie "Little Children" my inspiration for this story?
Not consciously anyways, I have not seen "Little Children" (but I am dying to! I love Kate Winslet!) I have read the book but that was quite a long time ago and I wasn't thinking of it when I was writing...
My inspiration for this story actually came from my best friend (love you Kat!) who cheated on her fiancé with another male who was an acquaintance and who was married.
While I did take a few liberties with her story (they met at a beach not a playground, and they had sex in the back of his car (on leather seats) not in his living room) they did use a park as their meeting spot, used their children as a diversion technique (more than once), and the children were in the vicinity while it was happening...
Are you saying that cheating is ok?
I am not atoning cheating in any manner! While I am not married I saw firsthand the effect it had on our entire group of friends... even those not involved, such as myself.
Where did the title To Feel come from?
After the dust had settled and I sat holding Kat as she was crying (let's just say it didn't end well) I asked her why she had done it and if it was really worth it? She looked me in the eyes for a moment and told me that "She did it because she needed to feel something." This was where the idea for the title To Feel came from.
Are there going to be more chapters?
Do you guys want more chapters? (I'm assuming yes since so many of you asked). I had written this with the assumption that it would be a one-shot, a way to try and work through some writers block I had, but I agree with many of you that the story definitely has a lot of loose ends that could be tied up.
I am not opposed to writing more for this story and if enough people are interested then I will continue it...
