Unsweetened

I was out for dinner with my wife the other night and the waitress asked if I wanted sweetened or unsweetened ice tea with dinner. I said sweetened, but then started thinking, why did we suddenly have to rename drinks “unsweetened” when they have always been know as just regular drinks. 
Ice tea is known as regular old ice tea unless you want to add sugar and then it is sweet ice tea. 
Somehow, the sweetener became the defining part of the ice tea. It is no longer regular tea, it is unsweetened tea.
What if I want to order a dozen white roses; are they now known as the "un-red" rose?
 How about a politician, do I want an honest one or an un-honest one. Wait, that’s a different thought all together. Think I will fix a glass of regular tea with some sweetner and think about the politician thing again. Or maybe I just have too much time on my hands. Just Say'n

Readers’ hearts will be beating hard as they join in this adventure where people come back from the dead, wear so many facades you’re not quite sure who’s on the good or bad side of the law, while experiencing the growing attraction between the lady ‘cop’ who could be lying through her teeth and the normally bored psychologist who stepped into the adventure of a lifetime.

The author, a practicing psychotherapist, certainly knows how to light a fire at the beginning of a tale and guide the reader through all types of personalities and red herrings that will make them very disappointed when the story has to come to an end.

Quill Says: This is one psychologist who has met his match when it comes to a truly astonishing female!
