If Im going to hell, Im going to enjoy the ride.
Elijah
And then there was me. The last Baker to get married, to start a family, to be something. Theres a heavy weight that comes with being the oldest and being a failure.
Some peace and quiet will calm the voices that tell me Im 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 its just my luck that Ill never see such a wonderful woman again.
Until I do. In my classroom. Not only is she far younger than I thought, but shes my student.
The weeks of longing for her feel wrong, dirty. And yet I cant 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 bosss wedding. Then I made the stupid decision to sneak out before morning.
My rationale is that Ill never see him again, why draw out the inevitable awkward goodbye.
When I cant stop thinking about him, I chalk it up to an amazing night. I wouldnt know how to track him down even if I wanted to.
Classes finally start, and Im sure itll 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 were strictly professor and student.
If thats the case, how come he cant seem to stay away?
