After Caroline (1996)
“He walked with her as far as the lovely wrought-iron gate at the side of the church and opened it for her. “You’re sure you don’t want me to go along?”
Joanna smiled up at him. “I’m sure. This is something I need to do alone.”
“Okay.” He bent his head and kissed her lightly, understanding without the need for explanations. “I’ll wait here for you. Just remember our appointment. Fifteen minutes.”
“It shouldn’t take me that long.”
She walked into the town’s oldest cemetery, following one of the n...eat graveled paths toward a spot she needed no directions to find. Like most everything in Cliffside, the grounds here were well kept, mostly sunny but shaded in several places by huge old oak trees. The ocean could barely be heard from here, yet it could be felt, almost like a pulse in the ground. It was an oddly alive place where the dead had been laid to rest.
It was a place Joanna had avoided until now. She had avoided even thinking about it, because she’d been afraid that the fragile tie between her and Caroline would be severed by the stark reality of a grave and a headstone.MoreLess
