With both her boys unwilling to really open up to her, it would prove to be a difficult task.
Miles had nothing interesting happening in his life and he had learned to like it that way. He was boring, had a boring job, and usually went to bed early. The only major issue he was suffering from was what he called Peter Pan-syndrome, which prohibited him from wanting to grow up. But for the most part his life had been like living in an eye of a storm for the past decade, until now. His brother was home and the eye had passed. His calm world was about to be turned upside down and like most in the swirl of a tornado, he was terrified.
Kael Emerson had no where to go but back to the only place he'd ever called home. The town would not be to him what it was when he was 17 though. The people who loved and adored him then had seen him convicted of the most horrific crime to ever happen in Clayton, Tn. Even family would treat him as an outcast. The only glimmer of hope was a lovely stranger new to the area, one who didn't know who he was or where he'd just come from. Just as a much needed friendship blossoms Kael is reminded that secrets are hard to keep in a small town.
