He pours one for each of us as he goes on. “You did not avenge yourself. You just subdued him and got rid of him.”
Outside we can see flashing red and blue lights as Earl picks up my lightly chilled brother. For the first time in a long time, it doesn’t make me sick inside to see signs of a cop around. “I can’t claim to be a better guy than I was and then not act like one.”
“Well, I’m glad you did.” He coughs into his fist and starts passing out glasses. “Now, I am going to have a nice brandy, and then go to bed, because I have absolutely had it with this evening. I expect you two to behave while under my roof.”
“Yes, Reverend,” I chuckle as Julia, wearing a look of deep relief, comes to sit beside me. We clink glasses, and I take a welcome drink.
It’s going to be a test of my willpower to stay out of bed with my new love until the storm is over, and I can buy her a ring. But her father is right—it’s what she deserves.
The next year is going to be amazing. I can just tell. Even if the rest of the year is full of storms, we’ll weather them together.
Her hand slips into mine as her father turns to put the bottle away, and I give it a squeeze. Now I will have two things to thank God for every morning.
I’m looking forward to it.
The End.

Filthy Neighbor
The little cutie next door is spying on me. She watches me when I exercise. She watches me when I use my hot tub, and when I take a lover into it. It’s clearly a crush—and I like it. Those bright, longing eyes of hers turn me on. They make me want to show her that some things are much more fun to do than watch.
There’s just one problem—if she’s been watching me, she may have seen too much. I’m a problem-solver for my uncle Ezio, the local mob boss. I leave at odd hours. I keep odd company. One day she may figure it out. And if that happens, I have to make sure she’s already too attached to me to give me up to the cops.
But there’s a simple solution. The little lady has a crush. She wants me to show her what it’s all about in bed. And with my secrecy at stake, I have to ask: why not give her what she wants?
