The Cyclical Relationships Men Have With Their Fathers and the Lessons Learned

House of Lies: An Analysis of The Multiple Lives We Lead

Lesson Learned At The End Of The Affair
We’d met three years prior on a day trip organized by a mutual friend. On that day we left behind whatever was going on in our real lives and let ourselves be baptismically immersed in the innocent flirtations our attraction forced us to face. An hour or so into the ride home, I put my […]
