I wasn’t going to do a “What X Wants” title, but the original title (“Bad Mornings”) just didn’t work when I needed to trim it down to ficlet length.
So here it is.
(In another universe, nobody finds Tessa. And in another universe after that one, she dies in the culvert. Just so you know. But if you see into one of those other universes, you should write about it so we can all see how things went. Or if you want to write some more about Jerry, that might be nice, too.)

nice, very nice…like it!

Wasn’t happy with her last name. Changed it.

tessas’ very troubled. You painted a very clear picture of her

Gotta’ love the plasticity of ficlet reality. I liked this, another jump into another character’s perspective but still related to the base idea.

I like it aswell keep it going.

I think it provides us with just what Tessa needs: another man in her life.
