The Envelope by Stephen del Mar

I really wish this was longer! We get dropped in on a story already in progress and very quickly learn that Tony recently lost his partner and has been trying to cope. While the story is powerful (especially considering its length), I really want to know more about them. A prequel, a sequel, something? There just wasn't enough time to really connect to the story before it was done.

It probably wasn't the best idea to read this story while my computer at work was chugging away uploading huge documents. Fortunately, I was alone and no one was witness to my tears.

I loved the close relationship Tony had with his sister and her husband. The deep love he felt for Lance and his sudden loss was very painful. The unpredictability of war, the housing market and Florida weather can change lives in a flash. The ending was a little uncertain for me too, but I hope that Tony found some closure.
