Where The River Bends - Part Thirty

The Reach It had taken Wyatt two hours to work up the nerve, after Lori’s talk, after standing in the garage pretending to organize tools that didn’t need organizing. He sat on the porch, and after staring at his phone for a long time, he swore it might just call him out of pity. But in the end, it... Sign in to see full entry.

Where The River Bends - Part Twenty Nine

Shortly Thereafter That afternoon, Lori knocked gently at the front door. Lainey opened it, surprised. “I didn’t expect you today.” Lori shrugged, stepping inside with a soft smile. “Didn’t plan to come. But you’ve been quiet lately.” Lainey poured them each a glass of tea and sat at the table,... Sign in to see full entry.

Where The River Bends - Part Twenty Eight

Lonely Days The house felt too quiet. Wyatt stood at the sink, staring out the window, coffee in hand. He wasn’t even sure how long he’d been standing there. The cup had gone lukewarm a while ago, but he kept holding it—something to do with his hands. The radio on the counter hummed softly in the... Sign in to see full entry.

Where The River Bends - Part Twenty Seven

The Spark Saturday evening arrived with a soft breeze and a sky that looked like someone had smudged watercolor over the clouds. Wyatt pulled into Lainey’s driveway right on time, freshly shaved, clean shirt, hair combed back just enough to show he’d tried. She opened the door before he even... Sign in to see full entry.

Where The River Bends - Part Twenty Six

Morning, Together The morning sun slid through the blinds in thin golden strips, catching dust motes mid-drift and painting slow-moving patterns across the bed. Lainey stirred first, one leg half-tangled in the quilt, her cheek pressed against the soft rise of Wyatt’s shoulder. For a moment, she... Sign in to see full entry.

Where The River Bends - Part Twenty Five

The Way We Settle In The quilt had slipped halfway to the porch floor by the time Lainey stirred, her cheek still resting against Wyatt’s shoulder. The stars overhead had shifted slightly, and the night air was now cooler, threading between them like a hush. “ You realize,” she murmured, her voice... Sign in to see full entry.

Where The River Bends - Part Twenty Four

Beneath the Surface The late July heat pressed down on Sidney like a thick wool blanket. Even the wind, when it bothered to blow, felt like it had been steeped in bathwater. Wyatt had rigged a box fan in the living room window to help the air conditioner along, but it wasn’t much use against the... Sign in to see full entry.

Where The River Bends - Part Twenty Three

The Space Between Lainey stood at the stove, absently stirring a pan of seasoned vegetables while Wyatt wiped down the kitchen table. The late-afternoon sunlight spilled across the wooden floor, casting long, golden beams that made everything feel softer than it was. And yet, something tense... Sign in to see full entry.

Where The River Bends - Part Twenty Two

A Quiet Place in His Heart Wyatt stood on the porch, the wooden floorboards warm beneath his socks, coffee cup in hand. The sun hadn’t quite broken the horizon yet, but the first hints of gold were cutting through the treetops, tracing outlines on the dew-covered grass. The house behind him was...

Where The River Bends - Part Twenty One

After the Silence The wind had stilled. Not just outside, where the bare trees barely swayed anymore—but inside Lainey’s chest, too. For the first time in days, she felt like she could breathe without something hitching in her throat. Rickey had called that morning. She hadn’t expected it. She’d... Sign in to see full entry.
