Short Story Press Presents Jillian’s Days by Tara Mitchell

"Jillian’s Days" is the story of a romance that takes several years to develop. Jillian lives with a trusted and dependable friend, Charlie. They had a unique friendship and living arrangement that was comfortable for both of them. Jillian, although happy with the arrangement, felt that one day it would end. She wanted that typical life with a husband and family and did not see that as being a desire for Charlie’s future. He was a wealthy and handsome young man whose goal in life seemed to revolve around fun. While planning a trip in which Jillian would spend two full weeks alone, Charlie challenges her to take a guest with her. She fights the idea at first, but reluctantly after losing a bet over the subject, Charlie had gotten himself in on the trip. Secretly Jillian was pleased that events had unfolded that way. Charlie spiced up her normal trip with new and exciting adventures. When he was suddenly called away from the trip Jillian was sad. In the time left on her trip she pined for Charlie’s company. Upon arriving home she confides to Charlie that it is him that she loves and longs to be with. Charlie in return admits he feels the same.
