by Wanda E. Brunstetter


  “You can’t mean it, Kristi.” Desperation welled in Joel’s chest. “You’re angry right now. Please give me another chance and let me explain a little more.”

  “You’ve already explained. There’s nothing more to be said. You’ve kept too many things hidden from me.” Using her free hand, she pried Joel’s fingers loose. “Without honesty, our relationship will never work. I’m sorry, Joel, but we’re done.”

  A sense of panic welled in his soul as he watched Kristi get into her car. “Kristi, please wait!”

  After she slammed her door shut, Joel could do nothing but watch Kristi back out of his driveway. He fell to his knees, his body hunched over, as he tried to choke down a sob. Why? Why? His nails bit into his palms. Heat flushed through his body, and he pounded his fists against the gravel. Haven’t I had enough to deal with? He glared up at the sky. “Well, haven’t I?”

  Once Joel calmed down a bit, he headed up to his trailer house. His hand trembled as he reached for the doorknob. It can’t end like this. I need to get her back. There has to be a way.
