STORY LETTER:
Dear Author,
We met the day I rescued him from the elementary school bully. We became inseparable until a family move put thousands of miles between us. After years of email, phone calls and a handful of visits, we both ended up back in our hometown. Reconnecting led to love and now here we are in our golden years.
We’ve been together for a lifetime and have had plenty of ups and downs. Won’t you tell our story?
I want a sweet, contemporary love story. Other than no BDSM, I don’t have a lot of other requirements.
Sincerely,
Lynette
