-Joseph and Marley were able to interview their first witness.
-His name was Alexander, and he was able to identify the
suspects as two men in a black SUV.
-They also learned that the dead victim was Alexander's
brother, and he's been getting threats.
-That same day, Laslo was informed of the dead victim,
to his disappointment.
-He ordered his subordinates to take care of any witnesses,
and to find out who the dead victim is.
-If Laslo's cover is blown, he could face multiple charges,
including homicide.
-This could destroy his firm.
-Hannah came in to his office, reminding him of their dinner plans.
-She's his daughter.
"As Joseph enters the bedroom, he's greeted by the delicate scent of potpourri lingering in the air, a scent he always associates with the haven he shares with his wife. Despite his feet aching from wearing rubber boots all morning and evening, this inconvenience slowly fades away at the sight of Sarah sitting up in bed in a tanktop and pajama bottoms, with a surprised smile on her face."

-I woke up in my bedroom with Luke next to me.
-He told me that I passed out.
-After asking him what he was doing here, he said
that he needed to tell me something.
-The moment our eyes locked, everything started
coming back to me.
-When I asked him if he was Jesse, he said yes.
-Even though my heart leaped in joy at this possibility, I became
bombarded by memories of him dying in my arms.
-The pain came back, and I ran out of the bedroom screaming.
-By the time I got to the living room, Brad was
came in, so I ran into his arms.
-Luke followed right behind me, witnessing the whole thing.
-I told Luke that I just couldn't deal with it.
-He asked if I was going back to Brad after everything
that's happened.
-I couldn't even respond, let alone speak.
-Luke walked out the door.
"Nothing, not even the restlessness of my own thoughts can drown out the hammering of my own heart as I sit up on the bed, trying to make sense of what just happened. It's not possible, it just can't be! But how do I explain what I saw earlier, when I looked into Luke's pale green eyes?"
Loved the new chapter! Comment is waiting for you on your blog:)
Your writing as always is amazing!
Yay, I'm glad you loved the update! Thanks for leaving a comment here and my blog. Awww, thank you so much for the kind words. I always look forward to your feedback

Ch. 17 (You And I)
-Joseph decided to come home to be with Sarah.
-He filled her in about the new developments in the case
and his outing with the boys.
-Joseph sang "You And I" by Stevie Wonder to her as
they slow danced, bringing back warm memories of
their wedding.
-Sarah learned that she was wrong about Lyn
after finding out what really happened between
her and Brad, as well as Luke's feelings for her.
-They reminisced about the early days in their
marriage when they struggled, knowing they got
through it, and no matter what, they would be happy.
-Because they have each other.
"After spending most of the afternoon at the burn site (the charred remains of Alexander's home), Joseph decides to head back to the fire station. As he steps out of his car, the raindrops pick up even more---landing on his face, arms and leaving cold splatters on his bare scalp. At the sound of thunder whipping from a distance, he picks up his stride towards the front entrance. In about an hour, the day shift will end, freeing half of his crew to go home."
Previously, on "Memoirs Of A City Girl":
Ch. (44) Tears Dry On Their Own
-After Luke left, I ran upstairs to my bedroom
to try and make sense of what just happened.
-Brad asked what Luke was doing here.
-I told him that Luke needed to talk to me about something.
-To my surprise, Brad admitted that he saw
everything that happened in my flashbacks,
especially Luke's connection to Jesse.
-Even though he implied that Luke and I finally
found each other, I changed the subject.
-I asked Brad why he never told me about his alcoholic father.
-He ended up telling me about his painful past,
including his mom's abandonment, being abused
and having to take care of J.C., his younger brother.
-He was afraid that if I found out, I would leave him.
-I told him that he was wrong, that I would have
loved him more because of it, but he never gave me a chance.
-I found myself needing to be alone, wishing
Luke was still here.
"I can feel the oxygen flee from the microscopic air sacs that make up my lungs, or at least the remains of it, as I try to process the information relayed on the phone. Dead. Everything else becomes static noise after that, even though I am fully aware that Brad is breathing on the other line---barely."
Good chapter, poor Luke, I feel so bad for him. Im sure his dad didn't commit suicide either, he had a happy life and a wife he loved dearly. All I can say to Lyn is, Pick Luke!
Previously, on "Memoirs Of A City Girl":
Ch. 45 (I'll Stand By You)
-Brad called to let me know that Luke's dad was dead.
-To my surprise, he asked me to check on Luke.
-I wasn't even sure if he'd want to speak to me, but
Brad said, "He will...once he sees you."
-Once Brad offered to take care of Nikki while I was
gone, I decided to visit Luke.
-As I passed the Bridgeport bridge, I became
flooded by memories of that day when I almost jumped.
-It made me wonder if it was guilt or Luke that saved my
life and brought me back to the city I grew up in.
-When I arrived at Luke's door, he took me in his arms
and carried me inside.
-We embraced silently for a while until he was once again
reminded of his father's death.
-They found his body in his car, parked in the firestation
with a gunshot wound to the chest and mouth, suspecting suicide.
-Luke's grief turned into fury, refusing to believe that
his father could take his own life.
-Quietly, I wiped the tears off his face and helped him blow
his nose.
-He whispered, "I need you...I need you so bad."
"Despite the urgent need to escape this whirlpool of hot, electric energy slowly dissolving everything else in sight, including my own ability to reason, I find myself clinging to Luke. Clinging to his strong, warm body; clinging to the thin thread of common sense that's keeping me from being swallowed alive---clinging to the only person in my life I've ever truly been able to count on. This thing that we have---this so called friendship---may be the only thing that has kept us from letting go."
Good chapter, poor Luke, I feel so bad for him. Im sure his dad didn't commit suicide either, he had a happy life and a wife he loved dearly. All I can say to Lyn is, Pick Luke!
I know, Joseph's death broke my heart but at the same time, it brought Lyn and Luke together. You're right, at least Joseph had a happy life and he was loved by many. I just wish it wasn't so devastating for the family.
I'm all caught up now! I'm so sorry for being gone RL has been hectic! I hope everything is good for you.
Mixed emotions from reading the last three chapters, such sadness from Joe dying I still can't believe he's gone, to worrying that Luke and Lyn weren't ready to be together because of Luke being vulnerable after his dads death. Then complete and utter elation that it finally happened between Luke and Lyn and all that worry I had dissolving because they are meant to be together, always have always will!
I loved every chapter and I hope things work out for Luke and Lyn

Yay, I'm so glad to see you back, I've missed you! I'm doing well, just enjoying the last few weeks of summer and trying to finish up both stories. I still can't believe Joe is gone either. On the bright side, it brought Luke and Lyn together. I'm glad you enjoyed all the updates, especially the last one. I knew it would make you happy

-The sight of Luke in such pain overpowered my ability to reason.
-I knew that once we crossed the boundaries of our friendship,
there would be no turning back.
-The moment our lips met, nothing else mattered.
-We made love like there was no tomorrow---
raw, without inhibitions, without reservations, finally surrendering
to lifetimes of desire, need and separation.
-He brought me out of my shell, I cradled his broken heart.
-Together, we bridged the past and present through
emotional, physical and spiritual release.
-Luke proved to me that he was better than Brad in every way.
-He showed me an assertive, dominant side of himself, which I loved.
-I taught him that I was there no matter what,
even when he got emotional, even when he struggled to keep going.
-Everything, including the history and feelings,
came back---along with Jesse.
-I found myself falling in love with Luke.
-I found myself completely terrified.
"When I open my eyes, I find myself sprawled out on the wooden floor, in Luke’s arms. I smile to myself as flashbacks of his fervent hands and mouth on my body resurface, and my heart does little tumbles. When I glance at the alarm clock next to the nightstand, it’s already past seven. I hadn’t planned on staying this long, let alone the night, but there’s no way I can make it back to Appaloosa on time."
What happened??
Everything was going so well and then... nooooooo don't put me through this again:(
Loved the chapter and there were some beautiful moments but...why?!
Oh boy, looks like Luke has some explaining to do. This story is such a rollercoaster ride!
LOL yeah, Luke has some grovelling to do if he doesn't want to lose Lyn for good. This story has definitely been a roller coaster ride, even for me. The ride is almost over though, so that will be a relief.

Im waiting anxiously for the next chapter in this saga. On a side note, have you seen the Sims 4 pictures that were just leaked? They look really interesting, Im kind of excited about the direction the new game seems to be going in.
Previously, on "Memoirs Of A City Girl":
Ch. 47 (You And I)
-Knowing I wouldn’t be able to make the two-hour drive
back to Appaloosa, I decided to call sick from work.
-I made pancakes, Luke’s favorite, but we didn’t even
get to finish our breakfast.
-We ended up having a tryst on the dining table.
-Afterwards, Luke and I slow danced, just like his parents.
-He sang “You and I” by Stevie Wonder to me, which
happens to be one of my favorite songs.
-It was that moment that I realized he’s the one I’ve been
looking for all my life---and I started to have dangerous
visions of a life with him---being his wife and the mother
of his children.
-This grasp of happiness was so close, I could taste it, but
it terrified me. Terrified of losing him all over again.
-He asked why we’re not together, and I freaked out.
-I couldn’t give him answer and the pressure was too much.
-He got angry and lashed out at me, telling me to go back to Brad.
-I lashed back by accusing him of being a scared little chicken
**** who left me high and dry---twice.
-Not only did he tell me to leave, bu he also said he wished he
never met me. I was crushed.
-Even his saying “I love you” wasn’t enough to keep me from
walking out the door.
"I must have sat in the truck for an hour, numbly watching the flecks of snow continuously land on the windshield. Instead of turning on the wiper to clear the white layer of ice crystals blurring my vision---I let it accumulate---hoping it will shield me from the rest of the world. I lean against the door, the side of my face pressed against the cold glass as another set of tears leak from my swollen eyes. Pulling the hood of my sweatshirt over my head, I curl up in a near-fetal position as I try to keep myself warm---and hidden---an injured animal licking its fresh wounds."

Yes, I heard about the leaked Sims 4 pics. The sims look like Sims 2 characters but with the vivid background details in Sims 3. Even the control panels look different. I'm excited too, I just custom ordered a new laptop for Sims 4. Can't wait!
It looks like everyone is facing their pasts now. Boy, I hope that she tells Brad that they can't be together. I think she needs to stay away from men while she pulls herself together and deals with her issues. I cant watch that music video of "Hurt" it makes me cry. It is just so sad and you can feel the pain and sadness that Johnny Cash feels. But it is a beautiful song, did you know that the song was written by Trent Reznor and was originally recorded by Nine Inch Nails? I just learned that recently, I had thought that Jonny Cash wrote the song.

I agree, she does need some time to herself and sort out her issues before she thinks about getting involved with men again. This is very important so she doesn't repeat the same old pattern.
I love this song. Like you, I can feel the pain and sadness in Johnny Cash's voice. There's also some regret there too and that's what makes it so powerful. I also thought he originally wrote this song until I looked up the lyrics for the chapter and it belongs to Trent Reznor. Crazy huh? Cash totally made this song his own and I prefer his version.
I've tried about ten times to leave a comment on your blog but it keeps coming up with error! I'll keep trying but I'll post it here for now
:O Mom?? Oh my gosh! Didn't see that one coming! That's gonna be an interesting conversation.
This chapter was brilliant and I think it's what Lyn needed to do all along. I'm so happy her dad told her how he feels and I got really teary reading it. I can't believe her mom, it should have been Lyn slapping her not the way it was! But I'm also glad Lyn didn't smack her because I think she made her point very well. Her mom shouldn't have a favourite, she should love each of her children the same.
I'm happy that Lyn was able to get through to Calla, I just hope things don't become awkward for her because of the bombshell at the end!
Fantastic chapter, I can't wait to see how it ends and I'm also sad it's nearly all over! I really am going to miss this story.

I'm happy that Lyn was able to get through to Calla, I just hope things don't become awkward for her because of the bombshell at the end!
Fantastic chapter, I can't wait to see how it ends and I'm also sad it's nearly all over! I really am going to miss this story.
