It was there sophomore year and Harriet (19) and Ashley (20) were both studying theology.
The two walked along the campus, hand in hand. They came to a tree and sat down. The two figures huddled together under a chestnut tree picking dandelions.
Harriet: how long will you be gone
Ashley: a week most
Harriet: I love you
Ashley: I love you too
They hugged and Ashley walked away unknown to him he was leaving a path of destruction, heartbreak and tears..
The week pasts and Harriet waited for Ashley to return...but he didn't
Harriet walked up to the college dean
Harriet: do you know when Ashley Thomas is returning
Dean: sorry I cannot give out that information
Harriet: please
Dean: I can't...Sorry
