The Bayou Never Tells

by Chelley St. Clair

forgiveness don’t always mean excusing the hurt someone caused. Sometimes it’s just agreeing to move forward and give them a chance to try again.

When something ugly digs its thorns in, you figure out how to keep going, and weave it in with the beautiful parts. Know what I mean?”

I know our secrets will stay here, between Silas, and Cole...and me. Because the bayou never tells... ...and neither will we.
