The Roommates

Allyson Lindt

Daria 
My ex taking our daughters to Disneyland is his latest way to prove Dad Rules and Mom Sucks. 
While they’re riding roller coasters, I’m taking a trip of my own—a long deserved island getaway for one. And I’m letting my eldest’s swim coaches stay at my place while we’re all gone, and their apartment is fumigated. 
Except a last minute work emergency means I’m stuck at home, rather than lying on a beach enjoying the view. 
First time I see Colin wandering around the house shirtless, I realize the view has come to me. 
First time Tanner offers me an entirely different type of vacation—the no-clothes-horizontal-grind kind—I almost cave. 
But I can’t hook up with a man almost a decade younger than me, and definitely not two of them. Can I?

The Adventure of the Creeping...

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

"The Adventure of the Creeping Man" (1923) is one of 12 Sherlock Holmes short stories (56 total) by Arthur Conan Doyle in The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes first published in Strand Magazine October 1921 - April 1927.
A man named Trevor Bennett comes to Holmes with a most unusual problem. He is Professor Presbury's personal secretary, and Mr. Bennett is also engaged to the professor's only daughter, Edith. Professor Presbury is himself engaged to a young lady, Alice Morphy, a colleague's daughter, although he himself is already 61 years of age. Their impending marriage does not seem to have caused a great scandal, so that is not Mr Bennett's problem. Nonetheless, the trouble seems to have begun at about the time of Professor Presbury's and Alice's engagement. First, the professor suddenly left home for a fortnight without telling anyone where he was going. He returned looking rather travel-worn, and it was only through a letter from a friend sent to Mr Bennett that the family learnt that Professor Presbury had been to Prague.
