Becoming Strangers Again Novel Novels & Stories

Now the world felt like it had cracked open just slightly—enough to let something unfamiliar seep in. Crystal sat on the low stone wall near the marketplace, legs swinging back and forth as she watched the village buzz with activity. Drums echoed faintly from the square. Vendors shouted prices. Children ran past her in clouds of dust and laughter. And there he was again. The daddy stranger. He stood near the elders, tall and unmistakable, his presence commanding without him trying. His clothes were too clean for the village, his posture too straight. He listened more than he spoke, but when he did speak, people leaned in.

I shook my head again, harder this time, trying to steady myself, trying to make sense of the chaos surrounding me, but everything only seemed to spin faster. “Get away from her,” a deep voice suddenly cut through the chaos behind me. “Unless you’re ready to deal with a lawsuit.” The tone was sharp enough to make the crowd hesitate for a split second. I turned around immediately, and for the first time since this madness started, I almost let out a sigh of relief.

I wished I could look back at the way this began with fondness; maybe it would make the circumstances bearable, but waking in the bed of a stranger on the wrong side of town didn't lend itself to memories I wanted to cherish. But hell, neither did the day, that preceded the night, that changed my life.

Maybe strangers. I buried my face in the pillow. “What’s going to become of me now?” I whispered to no one. I closed my eyes, wishing everything could just stop. The scandal. The whispers. My life. Everything. The phone kept buzzing over and over again, louder this time. I didn’t move. I was too scared to take it. I just wanted to disappear, vanish.

"Folktown is not very welcoming to new people and that's because we tend not to have new people always. It's just a matter of time and they will warm up to you or maybe just like you said, if you socialize enough with them, they will get to see the human in you and know that everybody is a stranger to people they first meet. It takes getting to know someone to scratch them off the book of strangers." "You are right. So when is this farmer Benjamin hoping to see me?"

"Send me your location. "Don't worry. I'm about to find out who has the nerve to mess with my family in this city." The phone call ended, and a wave of relief washed over me. I took a deep breath, regaining my composure, and joined Noelle in the lounge, where we lost ourselves in the world of Lego. Jennifer returned with a newfound assertiveness in her gaze. She stood at the doorway, an eyebrow cocked in challenge. "Made up your mind yet? Give me the child, now.

I applied them on my body and that eased the pain. I put on pajamas and went to bed. I wasn't with my phone, Mary took it to avoid any form of contact with anyone. I was bored. I opened the drawers by the bedside table and found a little note inside the last drawer. ‘Dear Susan, Living without you these past years has been the worst thing I've ever been through. I love you so much I can't wait to meet you again. Love J. That was it. I blinked severally. Looks like this house has secrets that need unraveling.
