After reading this, I looked for more stuff from Carl East and found out he is an "erotic" category story writer; unfortunately for Carl, I won't be purchasing those titles.  If he ever decides to quit writing his lucrative porno titles, he could make a good career writing fiction like this title.If you think about the context of a short story, due to the limited amount of words you have to grab the reader - and quick - to develp the characters, basic plot outline, etc.  Carl does it on all fronts with this title and kind of reminded me of the story style of Nicholas Sparks and things like The Notebook or Dear John.  After reading my porno comment above some of you may chuckle, but I'm serious: I could picture this storyline being developed into a full-length novel that sold a gajillion copies with the associated movie rights and every woman would read it and force their husbands / significant others to go with them to see the movie.  Maybe I'm a sucker for the love stories, who knows?If you couldn't tell, I liked this one and it is a good 10 or so minute read for your lunch break.Carl, if you are reading this I will say you're on to something here - why not run with it for a while and see where it leads?
