“It was a night like this when we met, remember?” Roumina used to rub my back when I started reminiscing. She would be silent then, as she is now. “A humid June night. You asked to bum a cigarette.” A pained laugh escapes my lips. “Back when we thought it was cool to…
Oooooh yes. When I sent of my last WIP, I was on top of the world….mainly because it was done and off to her! I let it rest for a bit, then I re-read it with my “editor” glasses on. And ooooooh, my. Did it need work. Fortunately for me, because I did this it…
