It is said that our eyes are the windows to our souls. I believe it's true. Have you ever looked deeply into another person's eyes? Even with those closest to us it seems an unwelcome intrusion at times. To look deeply into someone's eyes for an extended period of time, is to see their true self. The outward appearance fades away. They're no longer young or old, beautiful or home

"I believe in love/ Now who knows where or when/ But it's coming around again" - Carly Simon. Born headstrong, Isobel has planned the direction her life will take, and romance is not a part of that plan. The story of love found in the last place one might ever think to look; of loss and grieving and rising again; of love's triumph over all. Isobel/Reginald; eventual Richobel.
