Harper

By Joe Bondi Beach

The love between Harper and Julian, growing for years, blossoms as the two prepare for college, Harper for her senior year and Julian for his freshman year. Their parents, Sarah, Matt, and Mama Fred, approve.

This vignette forms part of a sequel, a work-in-progress, to "Sarah's Honeymoon." Harper and Julian are two of the four children in the household, but they are not brother and sister.

This vignette is explicit and is written for mature adults only.
