A month of Sundays #ShortStory #Fiction by Abigail George
“I don’t see why you can’t write a book. I’m proud of you.” She caressed his back. “I’m your Alba remember. You can make words do anything. You charmed the pants off of me.”
“I often feel lonely in this world, you agree. I never knew I would meet someone like you. You make me so happy. I know I don’t often say that. I’ve only had baby fever on my mind for the past few months. I love this song.” She rested her one hand on his knee and began to drum her fingertips on it. He hated that too. He turned to look at her as the light turned red. She turned to look at him and smiled. He remembered what she said to him on their first meeting. “I don’t often meet men like you. Tell me all about mining.” He had never met a woman who wanted to know anything about mining. He told himself she was only being polite.

Does my partner love me? by Joseph Gatt
Love relationships are simple math, but only our grandmothers know the math. The rest of us tend to be fooled by love and relationships, often because we can’t read the signs properly. Perhaps because being in love is such a strong emotion, that people who are in love rarely back down, and that it can be very difficult to reason someone who is in love.
So, how do relationships work.
Ideally, both partners are in love. Rarely the case, but still. Usually, people enter relationships for convenience purposes, usually a mixture of sexual intimacy, social status and material well-being.
And that’s why women date football players and men date (super)models. Or women date older businessmen and politicians and men date older career women.
