Chapter 43 You Still Look Beautiful

  Riley

  I was so nervous. My heart bumped in my chest so hard, I thought it would burst out of my chest. 

  It wasn't easy for me to be here, in front of the Mitchell's family farm. I haven't been to their farm in so long. Lorraine still had this place looking so beautiful. It almost seemed as if time had stood still in this place. The same beautiful flowers and roses in her garden. The raised beds with her mint, bay leaves, and all kinds of herbs. She had her sunflowers growing and tomatoes looked so delicious. 

  I had always been envious of her green thumb. Everything she touched grew beautifully. Her granddaughter Emily had the same gift. They were both amazing gardeners.

  I sat in my car, doubting if I should go through this. Saturday afternoon, I should be preparing my house for my husband to come home. Instead, he's in bed with another woman. I tried calling him this morning. I wanted to hear him say it was a prank or a mistake.
