Book Cover & Preview Text
“Ella!” Charles rushed to her side and gently cradled her in his arms. He stroked her hair, wet from blood. Blood from his split cheek and dripping, broken nose trickled down, coinciding with hers, entangling their souls in a moment of deep distress.
Hours later, the frogs still croaked and the crickets still chirped, undisturbed by the cruelty of life. Ella and Charles sat at the creek, silently watching and listening. Here they had come and here they had sat, not speaking a word, each lost in their own thoughts.
Charles stood and reached for Ella’s hand. Without question, she allowed him to lead the way.
