From time to time, when I'm so far into my procrastinating that I'm even avoiding writing FNT, I end up on Tumblr for hours (I'm a sucker for high resolution pictures that speak to my heart) Anyway, often when I'm scrolling through Tumblr, I see a picture or a post and an idea sparks in my mind. Sometimes they're just weird thoughts, other times they're full on story ideas, but sometimes, they're just snippets; a little scene between a few people- or even one person- and I can't get the idea out of my mind until I've written it down.
This is where 'Assorted Short Stories' comes in. These first few stories are just some of a few that I've written. I usually just post them on Tumblr, but I thought I'd put them up here and see what you guys think. None of these stories are particularly happy. However, these stories are also kind of like a diary to me, a container in which I can pour all my emotion- more effective, and more fruitful than writing in a diary I have found.
When Chef Margot loses her beloved restaurant to her cheating ex-fiance, her best friend, single dad Nathan, steps in with an unexpected offer to help her start over. As they collaborate, sparks fly-but can they overcome their complicated pasts for a chance at real love?
Season 4 of The Mechanic
***
Margot Taylor thought she had it all: a thriving restaurant and a fiance she adored. But her world crumbled when her fiance abruptly cancelled their wedding and claimed ownership of her cherished restaurant. With her career in tatters and her heart broken, Margot is forced to start over.
Enter Nathan Davis, her loyal best friend and a single dad chasing big dreams of his own. As a partner in the multibillion-pound auto business, Nathan offers her a lifeline-a chance to open a new eatery on the grounds of his new mechanic shop.
As Margot pours her heartbreak into a new dream, her friendship with Nathan deepens into something much more electric. But their growing happiness is threatened when Nathan's ex-wife returns, determined to take their daughter away and upend the new couple's relationship. Caught in chaos, Margot must decide if she has the strength to fight for the life she's building...or let the wounds of her past ruin her future.
