The Unraveling Of Mercy Louis (2015) - Plot & Excerpts
She must’ve seen my one letter as encouragement; it was foolish of me to send it. Poor Illa, wisp of a thing, bringing those letters to the park like she was doing me a favor. I terrorized her, even scared myself a little bit. Nobody likes an angry woman. And Travis Salter standing right there, close enough to hear everything. I continue to train and play every day, hoping I can make myself tired enough that I don’t have the energy to think about Charmaine. Now in addition to basketball, I also think of Travis. This new pressure at the chest. At church we’re taught to be careful not to fall in love with a man until we’re ready for marriage, so we can give our whole heart to our husband. Every time you love and lose, you give away another piece of your heart, Pastor Parris says. Do you want to stand before your husband on your wedding day with nothing but an empty shell where your heart should be? Sometimes I think guiltily of Coach, the stipend she pays to Maw Maw to make sure I stay sharp over the summer.
