A short snippet from the story
The bright Spring sun bathed the budding trees with warm sunshine
and tickled the grassroots to life. Petals fallen from the magnolia tree
covered the ground, but the slight breeze sent chills through Valerie.
The young, slender woman with long, brown hair wrapped herself
inside a warm sweater.
When she reached her destination in the secluded corner of the
cemetery, tears welled up in her eyes as she ran her fingers over the
name, Caleb Winston, carved into the marble gravestone. Everyone
keeps telling me I should be over the mourning period by now. She
thought, sighing deeply. As she sat down on the bench by the side of
the grave, she let the tears fall for the first time in a week.
She allowed herself to cry only when she’d made her weekly walk to
the cemetery. She hid her sadness and tears from her family and
friends. They kept telling her she was only eighteen and had her whole
life ahead of her, so there was no reason for her to hold on to the boy
she once loved.
