SUMMARY: When they first meet, Dan is 38-years-old, happily 
married, and has three children.  Chrissy is eighteen and a 
senior in high school at the time.  Over the next few years 
he risks quite a bit to spend a good deal of time with her.

COMMENTARY: This is not a short story, but it is a very 
nicely constructed one.  The focus is as much on how torn 
Dan is between his affair with Chrissy and his marriage, as 
it is on the sex in his relationship with her.  While the 
story has a somewhat repetitive feel to it, Dan's fear and 
guilt help to keep it fresh.  He never seems to be 
completely at ease with himself.  Chrissy does not get as 
much as attention as Dan does, but the author still does a 
nice job of fleshing her out, to a lesser degree.  She is 
more than just a body.

Some of you may be somewhat turned off by the "older male-
younger female" relationship.  I recommend that you at least 
give this story try.  I think that it is worth it.

        - Arousal: 4/5
        - Editing: 5/5
