    R.A. Padmos

    In no particular order: woman, writer, in a relationship with my wife since 1981 (though we had to wait until 2001 until we could actually get married), mother of two grown sons, owner of cats (I can pretend, can’t I?), reader and a lot more. I write in different genres under different names. I’m also S.Dora for my M/M erotic romance and Ella Laurance for my M/F erotic romance.

      THE TINY BLUE HOUSE

      R.A. Padmos

      I am Molly Knowles. Please, marry me.

      Young chef Molly Knowles travels with her tiny blue house through the country. She isn’t sure what she is looking for, but when she tastes the food of Chiara Loss, she knows that she has found it.

      After two years of hiding from the world, mourning the unexpected death of her lover, Chiara is ready to fall in love again. When Molly stumbles into Chiara’s life, both women have no choice but to accept that there is no way back.

      Sometimes one day filled with food and love is all it takes.

      Dedication

      For my wife.

      Chapter One

      She had fallen out of love. First with the girl she had been dating for one month, three weeks and two days and, by association, with the place. It was time to face the truth and be a grown woman about it. Of course, it would be easy enough to hook up her car to the trailer and disappear with the Tiny Blue House, but she had been raised better than that. It wasn’t the first time she’d had to start a conversation with, There’s something we have to talk about… and would very likely not be the last, but she hated it all the same. She didn’t like to hurt her girlfriends, and breaking up did hurt. On the other hand, when it was over, it was over and no amount of wishing it could be different was going to change the facts.

      Open the door of her apartment, Molly Knowles, take a deep breath and…

      This isn’t what it looks like. I can explain it…

      Sure, strictly speaking French kissing another woman could be considered an alternative form of exchanging healthy bacteria, but wasn’t it more according to Occam’s razor that the woman she was about to leave had already left her?

      Well, you made it pretty easy on me. There was a flash of hurt pride, then Molly grinned and continued, Thanks for the lovely weeks and be happy. See you!

      It was a perfect day, with a gentle sun and an even gentler breeze. A day to laze around and luxuriate in the feeling that she was free again without having to hurt a woman who deserved nothing but good things in her life. It was time, however, to leave for a place she didn’t know yet.

      Before she lashed down all movable objects inside the Tiny Blue House in order to
