Down Among the Gods
Two lonely people, a chance meeting at an adult education class, an almost instant attraction. But why do they keep misunderstanding each other, missing each other? What is it that conspires to keep Jessie and Patrick apart? An urban romance with a difference; a tale of mortals acted by immortals.
