Tempus Fugit is a play about two budding artists: Drew Summers, a twenty eight year-old best-selling writer, and Jessica Parkinson, a twenty four year-old theater-turned-movie actress. They are in a restaurant, spending another lunch, before Jessica’s shoot for a short film. With not much to talk about, Drew shares a few parts of the novel he is currently working on. As time flies (the Latin phrase of which is where the title of the play is based), the two discover more about themselves and each other. Well, mostly on Jessica’s part. Arguments arise, and the two become more daring as to what secrets they should reveal to each. The result was a shocking revelation.
Author's note: Tried to submit this for Palanca but...I kinda backed out 'cause of nerves.

Valentine's Dinner?
Two reclusive people meet in a charity soup kitchen in a down-and-out area of London, and their mutual attraction tempts them to follow their hearts. Both know that breaking out of their social shells risks revisiting buried traumas, but it might relieve their loneliness. Valerie has been celibate since she was drugged and raped, and she now concentrates on three things - running her corporate empire, maintaining a low profile and guiding her inquisitive daughter through puberty. Lorne is still grieving a fiancée who died years before, but when he meets Valerie, his dormant desires waken. With little information beyond her first name, he takes a bold step and invites her to Valentine's Day dinner. Their relationship escalates with blinding speed and all the comforts of a billionaire lifestyle, but the bliss is interrupted by a smear campaign on social media. Valerie's rapist is out of prison and looking for revenge. She wants to crawl back into her shell, but Lorne's love and acceptance continue drawing her out. Though dark aspects are threaded through the story's background, the overbearing theme is a lighthearted and feel-good romance. _____________________________________________________________________________________ I portray the wealthy lifestyle and all its appurtenances through experience, having made my first million in the 1980s when that small amount could still buy something.Complete
