Month: April 2016
Unintentional Post
Sometimes I accidentally hit Publish
Do you? What do you do?
I debate if I should change it. I usually mean to publish at a later date. But for some reason I hit Publish instead of Scheduling it. If I change it then the email you all received is rendered null but if I don’t it messes up my plans in my head for the week.
What to do?

“Something tells me that’s not necessarily true Ms. Davenport,” he challenged as I felt his eyes slowly travel the contours of my face.
I took a deep breath in and challenged him right back even though my body was enjoying the proximity of his.
“I’ll just have to prove you wrong, won’t I?”
