One that came with a cost that took her breath away. Take the Leap During the country's stay at home order, Sophia spent her days working from home.

As Sophia helped others, someone else made plans for her. A heartwarming short story set during America's attempt to flatten the curve.

A Rainy Tuesday Morning A rainy Tuesday morning. A lightning storm outside. As Professor Victoria Graham waited in her third-floor office for her next class to start, the wind howled with a creepy ghostly noise. A university known for its historic oak trees. When one of those oak trees landed in the hallway blocking her in, Victoria waited for the fire department to rescue her. Turns out the fireman was one of the last people she ever expected to see again. Fifteen years seemed like a long time, but yet it seemed like yesterday in some ways.

An interminable trip that she instantly regretted. While sorting out the mystery of the contract, will what they discover link them together as their fathers planned or just push them apart?
