That moment when...
Have you ever been simply traipsing through life, looking neither right nor left? Just getting up, doing the thing you do, all day long, without questioning a single move? When, suddenly...BOOM. A small but significant motion occurs?. Maybe it's something that you can't quite put your finger on. Maybe you don't even notice it at all, and if you do, you shake it off and keep moving? In this scene with Landon and Lexie, Lexie feels a tear in an otherwise perfect piece of cloth. It is tiny, but it is there. She knows tears always start out small, but unless you address them and sew them up immediately, they will eventually unravel the entire bolt of fabric.
Book Excerpt
Hopetown Road
He hops down from his new pickup truck and approaches me with much caution. I know that anymore, he has no idea who or even what he is going to come home to. My moods have become as volatile as Beck’s crying spells. The absolute sleepless nights and agitated days have depleted my character and energy, changing me slowly.
So when I look up him, I know that Landon knows right away what kind day this is going to be.
Suddenly I have an alarming and almost sickening thought. Where Landon and I were at once two people who appeared to be one—seamless, almost—we are now at odds. I feel at odds with Landon. My husband, my life-partner of close to nine years. I begin to sense an infinitesimal but noticeable tear in our marriage at that exact moment.
