Three Little Words

I always thought Parker was the one, the other half of my heart, the one I dreamt night after night about raising a family with.

Until I found out that he''d been f*cking Stephanie... among others.

Fifteen years.

After fifteen soul-sucking years of being with the same guy, I now find myself back in the dating world.

First, it''s Matthew, a data engineer whom I instantly connected with.

Until I stupidly said those three words, those dreaded three words that had him bolting out the restaurant doors.

I love you.

Guy after guy I''d meet, all heading for the hills.

Until Rodney Hersey comes along. Charming, sexy, and he loves me back!

Who would''ve thought?!

Immediately, I find myself dangling from his lips, tearing off my clothes, even getting married... after only one date!

But my life turns dark when I wake up in a strange home surrounded by four other women... all claiming to be Rodney''s wife.

What have I gotten myself into?

A dark, short story about what happens when you say "I love you" to the wrong person.
