The Reckoning
A class reunion is typically a lighthearted evening of happiness and reconnecting with old friends. But for Kelly Mason, the 15th anniversary of her high school graduating class carries with it an oppressive memory.
In the course of a rivalry with another cheerleader, she stole some cash to get the other girl in trouble.
Haunted by her guilt, she intends to take the opportunity to make amends. For in attendance would be the teacher who was in charge of administering corporal punishment.
Not only that, Kelly has heard that this teacher went on to work for a family member for a while, reddening tender flesh in a special club. She anticipates telling him what she had done and asking to be disciplined…...with accumulated interest.
But she had no way of knowing what may develop between them.
