An Inconvenient Attorney by Catherine Burr
Amazon.com Review
Catherine Burr writes with passion and a gut-wrenching truthfulness.
Product Description
Sometimes attorneys can help you, sometimes they become quite inconvenient as is the case in Catherine Burr's short story, An Inconvenient Attorney.
A couple has been keeping secrets from each other, and when attorneys get involved, the truth becomes more than an inconvenience to their lives.
Excerpt:
"Rob and I had this little saying that we'd say to each other every night before we went to bed. He'd kiss me passionately and put his arms around my petite frame, and hug me. He'd gently push my soft blond curls away from my forehead and we both say at the say time, "Love you!" Then we'd make love. For hours. Okay, maybe we didn't always make love for hours, but it was always beautiful and it was passionate, caring, thoughtful, and those memories carried me through many rough days that were to lay ahead. Having that memory, even when our relationship went south, was held close to my heart. I knew everything would work out - after all, it always did."

Product Description: Inconvenient Lovers
Jack and Jill went up the married hill.
And life came tumbling after.
When Jack fell down,
He broke his vows.
And Jill came tumbling after.
Excerpt:
The marriage counselor nodded as Jack spoke. It was as if she felt he were making some kind of breakthrough and she was encouraging him to continue, encouraging him to get the words out that he'd been holding in for too long. "Go on," she said, "Continue."
"It's just not working."
I need air. I need a lifeline.
The therapist tried to contain herself. Yes! she thought, after months of private therapy, he got the words out! Hallelujah! She tried not to smile.
"In the beginning, it was fine. But."
There it was, the haunting word, "But..."
