Being a 'difficult woman', Oklahoma farm-gal Mavis wasn't having much luck with the local dating pool. Her Pa signed her up to emigrate to newly terraformed Mars, because 'Mars needs women'. Maybe there she could find a good man to marry. But Mavis had no intention of getting hitched, despite what the legal contract said.

Walt, the son of successful Mars merchants, had no intention of going through with a forced arranged marriage. Finding a kindred spirit in Mavis, they chose their own path.

A sci-fi sorta-romance story written for the 2024 Open Novella Contest based on prompt #88: "Your father is forcing you to marry someone you never met. The night before your wedding, you tie your sheets together and make your escape through the window. Half way down you make eye contact with someone doing the exact same thing a few windows over."

SSA Scottley - A collection - S.R.

"Doctor?" A very handsome, dark-skinned man asked."She's much like Reid." Hotch said, causing the men to nod. "Skipped four years of education, am I correct?""Five, actually." She corrected, hoping not to sound conceited."And what's your specialty, doll?" The same man asked."Morgan!" A blonde woman with colorful clothing reprehended. "Don't scare the girl off, already."Lily giggled slightly smiling at the woman before turning to the man. A small smirk playing on her lips."Well, handsome..." She said, forcing a laugh from the Morgan-guy. "I graduated in Psychology, have a Master's in Psychology and Linguistics and a PhD in Behavior Psychology.""Impressive." The oldest man in the room spoke up. "But what exactly makes her different from any other contest we had, Hotch?""She was supposed to be hired as a translator, but since she has such an interesting background, I figured we could give her a chance."A collection of little stories for Criminal minds. I started writing them about four, maybe five years ago and kept to myself purely because I love Criminal Minds and I love to write so why not combine the two, right? But now I've decided that there is no point in keeping it away and, since they are already written, I might as well share it with you.Disclaimer: In the chapters that follow some of the episodes, some of the dialogue aren't mine and any familiar characters aren't either
