“Yes. I know. I’m just glad that they both got to tell their stories from the grave,” Cassandra replied.
“Well, they say that everybody has a story to tell. The dead speak volumes, while we, the living just learn page by page,” Chastity said as they held onto each other and headed out of the cemetery. They had a trip to take, and a few more graves to visit.
