"Falling" for Him
Meet his kids they said. It’ll be fun they said. One drunken night, my sister and my best friend stole my phone and restarted the dating app I’d been on. I’d met some creeps, and gave up on the whole “online dating thing,” but they thought I should give it another try. Of course, later that night when my phone blew up with notifications from guys on Plenty of Fish, I was irritated until this guy named Jeff messaged me.

Green aprons and Blue Lights
Green aprons and Blue Lights by M. M. Atkinson I had just left my shift at Mimi’s café, a hidden gem on the outskirts of Portland. It wasn’t raining, but a cold mist prickled my neck from the cold. I shivered and pulled my sweater closer to my body for warmth. It was late spring, but the nights were too cold to be wearing only a sweater over my waitress uniform. I looked down at my forest green shorts and white shirt that was stained with what I could only hope was ketchup or gravy. I hurried to my car, tossing my stinky French fry scented apron onto the passenger seat of my old Ford Tempo.
