Whether written centuries ago or just last year, literary couples show that love is timeless.
Christmas Homecoming
The snow blanketed the pastures alongside the highway as I drove home. It looked white and pure. The next thought that ran through my mind was, but all things white get dirty. This is my first time going home in two years. I left right after my divorce was final.

I Love You—Love, Me
Dana was sitting in her Biology class. Life at Jefferson High was not horrible, but then again, it is high school. She wasn't the most popular junior girl, but she wasn't a loser either, an in-betweener you could say. She was average height with long dark brown hair and gray-blue eyes, and she was always rather fit due to her passion for ballet.

Embers (Ch. 5)
ZACH I spent most of my childhood with my eyes closed. Now that I could finally keep them open on my own, I wanted to see what else the world had to offer. That included taking in some vitamin D underneath the scorching late summer heat at Sylvan Beach. And, also scouting for potential new people to talk to. Or girls. Preferably, girls. My goal was to find a girlfriend before the fall semester was over. I figured I'd start my search at the beach, where there were cute girls in flattering bikini's and pretty smiles lounging about on the sand and in the ocean.

November Breezes; She Remembers
The sun rises over the parking lot at Wal-Mart; announcing its presence with an array of oranges, reds and yellows. Seagulls flying overhead, in spite of the cold, causing you to wonder if they even know where they are.

Joker in the Pack
John-Paul was famous for his jokes. One-liners, witty ripostes, impersonations, slapstick, anecdotes, observations—John-Paul had mastered them all. His problem was that his ability to behave appropriately in any given social context was hit and miss, so while he caused a merry riot at his best friend’s wedding, his actions at his great-uncle’s wake resulted in several family members refusing to answer his texts for a month.

Embers (Ch. 4)
GISELLE The Kemah Boardwalk was probably the only place in Houston I could spend the summer working at without quitting the next day. Although it was a seasonal job, they paid me enough so I could actually afford to keep my car this year and I actually enjoyed working here. Charlie Hanley, Samantha Stevenson and I chilled throughout our morning shifts at the ride section, playing the occasional prank on each other while we were supposed to be friendly hosts to the tourists and to the locals and their brats running around everywhere. If I had to pick a favorite ride out of them all, it would have to be The Aviator. But only because I thoroughly relished in screaming bloody murder as we swung around and around the pole in our seats, claiming we were all going to unhinge from the ride and die. Charlie, my best and closest flamboyant guy friend always chickened out when I dared him to get on the ride with me on our days off. Samantha, the chatty daredevil always managed to convince him otherwise.

Love Is in the Air
The water was cold as I laughed and ran through it to get away from Zach. The moon’s reflection off the ocean was beautiful. It was the perfect night. We had dinner with some friends and decided to take a walk on the beach before going home. Zach had it all planned and surprised me with wine and cheesecake under the full moon.
