Baggage for Two

Take the scenic route with Catherine Fletcher’s WLW short story Baggage for Two, about a couple finding passion is still possible, even in a snowstorm. It’s Beth’s fault they took the scenic route. She had thought this road trip might do the trick. It might be the excuse for her and Kerry to finally talk. Maybe even laugh, like they used to do. But the scenic route isn’t so scenic when the snowstorm hits, and Kerry isn’t smiling when their car gets stuck on the side of the road. A roadside motel offers a chance at warmth — and unpacked baggage. This ~6,000 word story is a sweet, HEA, realistic couple re-connection. It originally appeared in the collection Shackin' Up: Short Stories of Queer Romance and Forced Proximity.
