The Garden Tells On Everyone
Sage
My mother always said a garden keeps every secret whispered near it, and gives them all back to whoever thinks to ask. She forgot to mention how loud dead men can be about who killed them.
The rosemary flagged the lie first. The nightshade, which has no manners, named the culprit outright.
Forty-six years old, a divorce behind me and a murder in front of me, and I have never felt more like myself than I do standing in the dirt at midnight, listening to my herbs gossip.
