The Decision

by Nora Hobbs, Rebecca Hayes (Editor)

Beth Rizner… in her mid-twenties… married… and alone. Her husband, Tim, works for the government and is gone for long periods at a stretch. Beth works as a teller at a local bank, goes home, watches TV… and waits for the phone to ring.On his latest assignment with the government, however, Tim doesn’t call. He doesn’t email. He doesn’t send word in any way. Neglect is the primary ingredient in the failure of young marriages and can be the single most important factor in the loss of love, whether married or not.Enter Steve Manchester… single… mid-to-late twenties… handsome… maintenance man for the apartment complex where Beth Rizner lives. He jogs. He bungee-jumps. He hang-glides. He thinks Beth is beautiful… and she is… but she’s never been made to feel that way before.What begins as a friendship blossoms into love as Beth resists the urge to go to bed with Steve, because of her marriage vows to Tim – but the vows can’t keep her heart where it belongs. How long can she postpone the decision?
