He isn't any closer to understanding Silvio-and he's farther from Donata than he's ever been-but at least he's come to understand his own needs. Now if only he could figure out how to be himself without hurting the ones he loves the most.This title is #4 of the Dark Soul series.

A change coming.Author note: This is a free read of 1,000 words available on Payhip. Sometimes a story comes out of nowhere. This is What a Cold Lake Looks Like, written in two hours while my mind worked faster than my fingers, definitely fits that mold. The title came first–a reaction to the way the lake (the one I’ve been coming to as a family retreat my entire life) looked as we turned the corner toward my grandfather’s house.It’s a short 1,000 words. I think that each reader will bring a different interpretation of the events hinted at. It’s meant to be that way. It’s not a romance, not sexual. Perhaps bittersweet. I’ll let you decide.
