The silence holds.
The sign that says:
Clara didn’t tell anyone. She didn’t have to. The next morning, the whole town went about its business as if nothing had happened. Mrs. Hennessey’s funeral had been the week before. Mr. Hennessey’s disappearance was written off as a tragic suicide by drowning. The selectmen put up a new sign by the pier: baysafe
All it asks in return is the occasional stranger. And her silence. The silence holds
She doesn’t add the real warning. She doesn’t need to. Baysafe lives up to its name. Always has. Always will. baysafe
