Building a Dream
"No, I want that particular room sound proofed and hidden." Matthew spoke sternly to the foreman on the screen. "I want a company of EMT sirens to be able to go off in there and not one in the rest of the house would ever know." He grinned.

I feel the earth move under my feet
Matthew had left work, a sense of panic running through his veins. Something was happening somewhere and it wasn't good. All he could think about was getting home to Isabeau and the twins. He had to make sure they were safe and that they were protected ( Read more... ) -
Ch...Ch...Ch...Changes

Crashing.
The room was a total mess. Pieces of wood were strewn across the floor as well as screws, bolts, springs and some things he didn't even know what to call. He had scraped his fingertips, bruised his knuckles and now he was trying to force peg B into slot D for the umpteenth time ( Read more... ) -

Maybe she'll forgive me one day.
Matthew stood with the closed door at his back waiting for Isabeau to calm down.
