Excerpt: “I know your mother is looking for you. She sent me to find you. She is upset that you are reluctant to leave for school.”
“She called me a hoyden. She said it was time I put up my hair and became a lady. As if that would somehow make me a different person.” She ran her hands underneath her thick curls, held them up and then let them fall in a luxurious cascade. Ethan held his breath, then let it slowly out. He could see clearly the beauty she would become soon, although he knew how she would resent the change. He smiled at her, saying farewell with his heart. (A sad goodbye between Ethan and Sarah Louise from DARK DOMINO.)

I'm buying Dark Domino. I swear, the excerpt pulled me in, and I want to know why he didn't write her for six years.
Thank you for this.

Six years... did he really think she wouldn't wait or was it because he didn't expect to come back? I must find out!
Ah, young love. It's always a bit tragic, don't you think? It makes the ending so much happier in contrast. I enjoyed these two characters. They were fun to tell about. This story appeared in my head complete including the sound of war guns in the distance. Sometimes it just happens that way.
