    Cindy called me a few days after our last conversation, her voice laced with a mix of concern and frustration. “Hey, Jeff, I only have a minute. I think my dad must have seen your car the night you followed me home. He grilled me about seeing you, but I told him I was at…

  • My Magic Mentor MP

    I still remember the first time I saw the Harry Potter movie with my friends Ted and Josh. We were glued to the screen, completely immersed in the magical world of Hogwarts. I, on the other hand, was sitting in the back of the theater, trying to stifle my laughter. I mean, who wouldn’t think…
