One small crack doesn’t mean you are broken, it means you were put to the test and didn’t fall apart. – Linda PoindexterMonday morning, Jolene woke up bruised and sore. She knew somewhere in the back of her mind that she needed to leave. She’d heard the stories all of her life. It would only get worse. She could talk to Bunny. She was a counselor at the Family Advocacy Center. Had just finished her thesis for her doctorate in psychology. Bunny would know… Did Bunny already know? Did her family know? Were they ashamed of her? If she left, would her family be supportive? Or would they tell her to go back? Just like the preacher had.“God makes a family. He doesn’t want you to leave your husband. He doesn’t want you to get divorced.”She could still hear his condemning words. Could still feel the shame at wanting to quit. Feel his hands on her as he prayed for her to learn to trust and listen to her husband. Her heart pointed out that she loved him. And he loved her. Most of the tim

We had the same waiter and debated if his name was Andrews because there were two of them.”“Were there?” Helen asked with a grin. “Sadly, no.” He replied solemnly and then grinned. “Tru and I had a good laugh.”“How come it didn’t work out between you two?” Helen ask

She was brave and strong and broken all at once. – Anna FunderReese and Helen talked all through dinner. He told her about growing up with parents who couldn’t seem to make up their minds on spouses. And being the only boy among all of the kids. She carefully sidestepped questions about her. Until the dam broke and it all came out. “My mom died in childbirth with my little brother, he died a few days later. Dad never could look at me without seeing her. He married a woman so that I had a mom. Coralynn did not like me. The older I got, the more I looked like my mom and the more dad stayed away. The more he stayed away, the meaner Coralynn got.”“By meaner, do you mean abusive?” Reese asked gently and she nodded. “I didn’t realize it at the time. I just thought that I was bad.” Helen looked at her plate as tears filled her eyes. Reese moved his chair around the small table until he was next to her. Placing an arm around her shoulders, he gently pulled her into him. Helen leaned int

All the single chaperones and teachers spent all night hitting on Uncle Owen.” She smiled up at her uncle. “I so approve.”“I’m glad I have the approval of my sixteen year old niece.” Reese said hugging the teen. “And we’ll discuss it later, go to bed.”“OK, but-.”“Dean.” Reese warned. “Right.

I might not-.”“You said that you enjoyed last night.” He slowly moved towards her.“Yes.” She felt like prey.“You said you enjoyed waking up with me this morning.” He grinned and moved closer as she stepped back.“Yes.” She was definitely prey.“Would you like to do it again? Because I would.” Her back hit the wall and his hands went on the wall caging her in. She blushed and nodded her head."Use your words, sweet mermaid." He softly commanded. "Yes." She breathed out. “Then go hang them up.” He brushed a light kiss on her lips before pushing away

Now I remember why I quit playing with you.” He teased as he kinged her piece.“Really?” she said pointing at his large collection of her pieces and his two kings.“You still have pieces!” he pointed out with a grin. “Five pieces does not make a checkers game.” She replied.“You just got four of my pieces and kinged.
