Where The River Bends - Part Thirty Three

Signs and Seasons The last golden weeks of summer stretched long and warm, each day a quiet rhythm of everyday life that felt anything but ordinary when spent side by side. Wyatt had picked up a habit of bringing Lainey small things from his morning walks — a smooth stone, a wildflower, once even an... Sign in to see full entry.

Where The River Bends - Part Thirty Two

As Natural As Breathing The days that followed didn’t come with fireworks or big declarations. No sweeping music or candlelit speeches. Just life. Steady, warm, and quieter than the kind that turns heads—but richer than either of them had expected. Lainey woke up one morning and realized she hadn’t... Sign in to see full entry.

Where The River Bends - Part Thirty One

What Breaks, What Heals The knock at the door this time came hard and fast. Lainey opened it to find Rickey standing on her porch, arms crossed, jaw set. He looked like he hadn’t slept. Not wild, not out of control — just simmering. “ Can we talk?” he asked, voice tight. She nodded slowly. “Of... Sign in to see full entry.

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.
