If the Sheets Could Talk

After the death of her father at age eight, Marvelous “Marvel” Stephens, was uprooted from her home to be raised by her father’s parents. As much as she adored her grandparents, her own need for companionship developed as the only child in the household. That all changed when troubled ten-year-old, D’usse “Duce” Phelps, and his uncle moved down the street. From the first point of contact, their friendship took off, causing the two to be inseparable. What seemed like an odd pairing to everyone was a match made for them. Marvel has always been aware of D’usse’s troubled upbringing, and it didn’t bother her in the slightest that she was his therapy.The more time they spent together, the more their feelings evolved. Now all grown up, the thirty-year-old operates her own laundry business. The lines are blurred between them, and the thought of what could be surfaces. Marvel wants more than a friendship, and D’usse wants his shot at forever. Will they take a leap and act on their feelings? Or will the new player arriving into town with his eyes set on Marvel, beat Duce to the punch? When soiled sheets are used other than going into the wash, all signs point to something much sinister lurking in the shadows.
