Some may argue that Elaine Little, or Lainey, as she preferred, is living the dream. The problem is, it's not her dream.
Sure, she just got promoted to Executive Editor of Cosmo Magazine, allowing her to buy her first ever house in a beautiful neighborhood in California where she could live close to her parents, younger sister and lifelong best friend, Josh, who had recently moved back to the area, but Lainey desperately wanted a family of her own.
With her 30th birthday just around the corner, Lainey comes up with a plan. Love at first sight just wasn't her reality, so instead she'll run an experiment to manufacture her own true love. All she needs is a partner.

Even Angels Fall
Christina has had her life figured out for as long as she could remember. The plan was always to get into Harvard and become a journalist. So what if she doesn't have much of a social life? She's got friends. Even one who's pretty close. A busy social calender never fit into the plan. And a boyfriend certainly didn't. Especially with her father's strict rules. Besides there'd be plenty of time for all that later, right? Mike doesn't know what he's doing past the next week. His only plan for the future includes turning out to be nothing like his father. And possibly finding a girl who actually likes him for himself rather than for his face and social status, for a change. He's beginning to think they're all the same, though - pretty and nice to be around for a while, but pretty shallow. Mike and Christina have known each other forever but haven't been close for years. They soon start to question their priorities and why in the world they let their friendship fall apart so long ago. Can their relationship, still so young and fragile, withstand what's ahead?Complete

Love At First Flight (Short Story)
Have you ever just looked around in a room full of people and suddenly someone caught your eye. When you studied that person from afar, or up close, watching their mannerisms and personality, you just couldn't help but feel like, "He/She could be the one." (Hannah Montana reference) The person that you're meant to be with. The person God, or fate, chose for you to be your soulmate. You could literally meet them anywhere at any time in any situation, and you'd instantly feel a connection that draws you to want to learn more about them and be someone important to them. Now think about all the thousands of people who travel through an international airport in one day. Wouldn't it make sense if two complete strangers were able to meet each other in an airport and turn out to be soulmates?Complete
