Mercy
Page 18
As Tom and Sandy walked down the trail and toward the people representing their town, he drew strength from the love he felt for each of them, and the energy of the land itself. Danny, Ethan, Sam, Bishop, Chloe, and James. They had all been called home for different reasons and were now part of something much bigger than their own needs. Through a complex web of circumstances, they were now in a position to give hope not just to their own community, but the rest of the country.
Stopping near the top of the lookout, surrounded by the wooded mountains and raw beauty of the land, Tom finally allowed himself to acknowledge that he’d made it. They were home. A sob worked its way through his body to escape as a moan that was part despair over what had been lost, and part relief for what was gained. He didn’t try to hide it as others saw his powerful emotions released. It was okay to feel, to love, and to hold on to whatever gave you joy. Through it all, they had found each other.
Together, they found Mercy.
