Hello Dawn - You’re story “Seconds” really pulled me in. I felt so sorry for the woman and her strange life situation. At the end, when her daughter snuggled up and said Mom was the first to marry a bigamist, I laughed out loud. I also think @MargaridaBrei would enjoy this a highly entertaining story!

Happy New Year Dawn! Yes, Julie is absolutely correct. I really liked your “Seconds” oral reading, and the humorous last lines 🙂
