If I’m going to hell, I’m going to enjoy the ride.
Elijah
And then there was me. The last Baker to get married, to start a family, to be something. There’s a heavy weight that comes with being the oldest and being a failure.
Some peace and quiet will calm the voices that tell me I’m losing this game of life. But while I hope for sanctuary in solitude, instead, I end up finding it in her.
We only exchange first names and as few details as possible. After an incredible night together, I wake up alone and realize it’s just my luck that I’ll never see such a wonderful woman again.
Until I do. In my classroom. Not only is she far younger than I thought, but she’s my student.
The weeks of longing for her feel wrong, dirty. And yet I can’t get it to go away.
Rebecca
In one night my whole world flips upside down. Not only did I fall into bed with a complete stranger, only knowing his first name, but I did so at my boss’s wedding. Then I made the stupid decision to sneak out before morning.
My rationale is that I’ll never see him again, why draw out the inevitable awkward goodbye.
When I can’t stop thinking about him, I chalk it up to an amazing night. I wouldn’t know how to track him down even if I wanted to.
Classes finally start, and I’m sure it’ll work to get him out of my mind. Until I walk into my econ class and see him standing at the podium.
He makes it clear that he wants nothing more to do with me, that we’re strictly professor and student.
If that’s the case, how come he can’t seem to stay away?
