Sydney was an efficient person, and that extended to showers as well. It hadn’t been easy doing so much in so little time. She’d just finished getting showered and dressed and now stood in the bathroom’sĭoorway, staring around at the transformation I’d wrought in our living room. But I was never one to back down from a challenge. Being cooped up in a small suite of rooms had never been part of any escape plan, let alone a romantic getaway. In all our previous fantasies, we’d dreamed of exotic locations and, most importantly, freedom. The reality we lived in, though? Well, let’s just say I’d never really imagined anything like that either. In fact, I loved her more than I’d ever imagined it was possible to love a person.

Don’t get me wrong: I had no regrets about the woman I’d married. Originally from Michigan, Richelle now lives in Seattle, Washington. She is a self-professed coffee addict, works in her pajamas, and has a passion for all things wacky and humorous. When she can actually tear herself away from books (either reading or writing them), she enjoys bad reality TV, traveling, trying interesting cocktails and shopping for dresses to wear on tour.

A lifelong reader, Richelle has always had a particular fascination with mythology and folklore.
