Starting Over

by Dana Hewitt

Natasha Bennett is content enough with life, but constantly looks to the future. With pregnancy avoiding her and her thirties almost over, the contentment is fading as things aren't going as planned. At work she'd use her paralegal skills to unravel the truth with facts or argue it, but in life she can't admit the reason she feels life is lacking. Marcus Bennett would also like to feel something more, but is obsessed with the past. He can't believe he's gotten to this point of having "marital problems" and is tired of mediocrity. It used to be easy to be in love, but everything got annoyingly hard without his permission. He misses Natasha's contagious laugh--his jokes no longer make her smile. A decision has to be made before they grow even more apart. They know that pretending to be happy doesn't equal happiness. When Marcus comes up with a ludicrous idea, Natasha worries it may give him an out rather than salvage their relationship. With nothing more to lose they choose to, quite literally, start over.
