Disclaimer: Chapter 1
Wendy had informed him this morning that the girl had awakened, and was now sleeping. He'd hoped she wouldn't be in too much pain for the nasty bump on her head, and was grateful that some god had heard his plea.
He felt rather pathetic, hanging on Wendy's words of how the girl was doing. Apparently, her name was Ruth, and she had been running from Lee, her horrible uncle that had tried to rape her that morning and had promised to come back and finish the job.
After Ruth had told her that, Wendy reported that she had begun sobbing and had used Wendy's shoulder for comfort.
How he wished he could've been the shoulder she put her deepest fears on.
Why was he feeling that way? He didn't even know the girl, and already he wanted to take all of her pain away. What was wrong with him?
Oh, and he was told Ruth had dark green eyes, darker than Emily's.
He'd tried so hard to forget the girl who caused him this curse, but his mind wouldn't allow him that peace. Emily had been his first love, a jealous and angry girl who used her words of love to wrap him around her little finger, then spit him back out. She'd believed he was cheating on her, when she had no proof of the matter. But she'd left him just the same, and took his prized possessions, his mother's plain engagement ring his father had given to her when they were young. And his sister's emerald necklace, the one thing he had left of her before she died.
But he wouldn't dwell on that tonight. He would prepare for meeting Ruth for the first time.
