Novel & Cerita Louisiana's Way Home

Mario engulfs this woman—Jasmine—in a tight and long hug. Charlie suddenly felt uncomfortable. She felt as if she was the one intruding them and not the other way round. When the hug was stretching to two minutes, Charlie clears her throat and adjusts the shoulder strap of her gown. "Um... Mario? Who's this? Is this your sister?" Jasmine huffs and drops the heavy duffle bag on the couch. Mario places a hand on the small of Jasmine's back and faces Charlie... "Charlie, this is Jasmine, my wife." He smiled down at Jasmine, "The one I told you about that got recruited into the army,"

**Homecoming** The familiar scent of home—the faint aroma of Claire’s lavender candles, the comforting smell of old wood, and the lingering hint of last night’s rain—filled the air as the Hayes family finally stepped through their front door. Despite the exhaustion from the relentless chase and the constant threat looming over them, the warmth of their home brought a fleeting sense of safety. For the first time in what felt like ages, they were back where they belonged. But the sanctuary of their home was tempered by the reality of the battles still ahead.

I replied, letting out a big sigh, not really planning to argue with him about that topic as I know very well I'm not going to win. “So, you moved to chicago with your family?” He suddenly said, eyes still focus on the road. “Yeah.” I boringly replied, not really interested to elaborate more. Oh, nope. Actually, I moved here with my aunt. The only family I had. I’m an only child. My mom is an orphan, and only had my aunt as a family. My father was basically disowned by his own family for marrying my mom without their consent, so when they both died, I only had my aunt left.

Besides, she desperately wanted to wear normal clothes once more and get out of that flimsy gown that flapped in the back that hospitals forced you to wear. Jayden cut classes at the college to help their mother get Laci home and situated, determined, she said, to be there for Laci no matter what her sister needed. Maria Valentine sat in the backseat with Laci, while Jayden drove, her mother telling her to slow down every time she took a turn, causing Laci to wince. Home. That was a word Laci never thought she'd be saying in the context of returning to her childhood home, but that's where they headed. Home. Not Rhychard's condo, but to the home where she grew up and had been forced to abando

Lyra did not promise that the appeal would succeed. She could only promise that the north would examine the mark the Moon Goddess had left on me instead of dismissing it without a hearing. Even that small chance was enough. For seven years, I had surrendered one thing after another for my family and Kael. This time, I would not surrender my chance to live to anyone. I left the clinic and returned home alone. The house was empty. There was almost nothing in my room to pack: a few changes of clothes, a worn suitcase, and the journal that held seven years of disappointments.

They drove out to search, following the road west, one street after another. Mom leaned against the window, staring out, murmuring, "Lily... Lily, where are you?" Dad said nothing, but the car moved faster and faster. They searched for a very long time. Long enough for stores along the roadside to turn off their lights one by one. Long enough for the sidewalks to empty. The air in the car grew heavier, so heavy it seemed hard to breathe. After circling another empty street, Dad pulled over and sat in silence with both hands on the steering wheel.

Leslie shot back, "Get out of here. I've got plenty of stamina. I can go three days and three nights straight when I get back. My wife won't suspect a thing." One by one, every man on that bus took a turn with me. By the end, I was completely drained. My legs were shaking so badly I could barely stand. Behind me, the men chattered noisily, their faces full of smug, satisfied grins. "Leslie, you'd better cover your tracks when you get home. Don't let your wife find out." "Oh, shut it. Nothing decent ever comes out of your mouth." The bus lurched and rattled until it finally pulled into the village entrance. The door hissed open.

Love you''. Kim watched as her cousin sauntered out of her office and thought about her parting words, because Sam was right about something, she did miss home, a lot.

*********************************** LIAM We just landed back in our quiet home town of South Carolina. Except the airport is anything but quiet right now. Reporters line the baggage claim and taxi area, snapping photos and asking personal questions. "No comment." I reply for the hundredth time, as I grab my duffle bag and sling it over my shoulder.
