[Second Helpings 09] • Dirty Dessert · A Second Helpings Short Story

Two years ago, right before our wedding, Ernest Ressler left without an apology.

Heartbroken, I abandoned my life -- and vowed to never love a man again.

Now Ernest is back with an explanation -- and asking for a second chance at love.

But it’s complicated...

I’m not the woman he left behind.

Just being with him is a sin.

My new home is a cloistered convent -- open to the public only on Thanksgiving. Becoming a nun is how I escaped from memories of him.

Now he wants me. Bad.

And suddenly I want to get on my knees… but not to pray.

Forgive me, Father.

But if it’s wrong, why does it feel so right?
