Season: Winter
In this post: Craig Vincent
If someone ever asked what made Craig do it, he wouldn’t have been able to answer. It started out as a mild curiosity, a popup ad on the computer. A click. A filled out registration form. A profile and a then a picture.
A random bout of boredom, he told himself. He just wanted to see what was out there.
The he received a message, followed by another.
There was nothing wrong with responding, it was just over the internet.
Besides it made him feel good. Made him feel young again.
That was were it was suppose to end, harmless flirting through the computer screen.
Until he received an invitation; short and brief.
Craig,
Let’s meet over dinner. My treat.
Nikki
He stared at the screen only for a second.
Nikki,
Love to.
Craig
Craig never once thought about canceling. He had forgotten what the feeling of new romance felt like. Back in the day he had been a wild one. Before LaKisha, the daughter, the house in the boondocks, and the son. This feeling that had been lost for years, and he wasn’t sure that he wanted to let it go.
“Craig? You look just like your picture.”
Dinner.
A touch.
A hug.
He welcomed that feeling like a long lost friend.

- Finally, some interesting drama in the Vincent household. This family has been pretty plain since the start of the hood.
- Craig’s primary aspiration is Romance. For the last couple of rounds he has had the generic want to date and woohoo. I figured that since they were directed specifically for LaKisha that he wanted to go outside his marriage for romantic interaction.

Wow, what is Craig starting? Yikes
Uh oh! Craig’s definitely stirring up some trouble here. I wonder if Nikki is aware of Craig’s marital status.
Uh oh. I see trouble on the horizon.
Oh, this isn’t any good! I wonder what hes wanting out of this, short term, then back to wife or if hes wanting to end the marriage and go free bird style. Interesting!
