First Love, Second Chance. Cara Colter
“Look at that.
It’s beautiful, don’t you think?”
Connor looked up, but he couldn’t see the moon from where he was standing. He bent down and took a quick look. “Yeah, I guess so.”
Sunny stood and beckoned him closer. “Look from over here,” she said, moving toward the porch railing.
He hung back, not sure he should let himself get any closer. Any closer and his body would definitely be involved. “It’s just the moon,” he said, moving a little nearer. “No big deal.”
Sunny took two large steps and gripped his hand. Tugging gently, she said, “Boy do you need to loosen up.” When they reached the railing, she pointed up again, smiling. “There. Now look at that and tell me it’s not beautiful.”
“Beautiful,” he murmured.
“I was talking about the moon.”
“And I was talking about you.”

My husband forgot our anniversary this year. He spends more time in the garage with his precious lawn tools than with me. What can I do to spice up our love life?
Yours sincerely,
Out of it in Oregon
Dear Out of it,
To spice up your love life, put more cayenne in his chili. Not only will he notice you, but it will knock the stuffing out of him! Ha ha ha!
Mr. Commitment
Dear Out of it,
Forget what Mr. Commitment says! To spice up your love life, do one little romantic thing each day to show him how much you love him. In the meantime, sign up for a class, take tap lessons, audition for a town play—find your own “precious lawn tools.”
Best of luck!
