Secrets and Serenity

Note to Those Who May Read:
I am attempting to write this book because I want to see how far I can take it. This book is a test of my endurance. I hope that whether I finish this or not that I will learn something from it. So let it be known that I, Charlotte Lydia Bog, am on a quest for knowledge or endurance, or maybe both? We will see in the end
Chapter 1 Annabelle
I carefully positioned myself in a way that I could see past all the trees that lined the road up to the plantation. I then saw the carriage. Yes! I cried out inside my head. I could not wait to see William. William was my childhood friend that had gone off to war against America a few years ago. The carriage then stopped right in front of me. My heart pounded. William stepped out of the carriage. I said, "William!" He walked towards me arms out wide, smiling. I was then enveloped in his hug and I took the time to evaluate him. William had grown tall, by the size of the biceps that were hugging me I could say strong too, he was well dressed in the uniform of a well decorated solider, his eyes were still the same piercing blue that gave me the chills if I looked at them too long, and his smile was that perfect goofy smile he had when he was a little boy. I suddenly realized that we had quit hugging and I was just staring at him now. I quickly looked away embarrassed. I then said, "Please come inside."
