Book Excerpt – The Wilted Rose Part 2 – The Rose Blossom:
What she felt for George felt free and beautiful, gushing uncontrollably from her heart. Navigating her feelings for George, Sarah felt as if she was stumbling through unfamiliar territory. Every moment spent away from him was unbearable, and every moment she spent with him was never enough.
She felt she was going mad; George had completely unravelled her, consuming her thoughts every moment of the day. She had never experienced such extreme emotional contrasts of love and longing before in her life, pulling her heart in opposite directions. What was wrong with her, she wondered.
As the weeks passed, Sarah felt her nervousness melting away, letting her guard down to allow her strong personality to show through. She challenged George with her wit and knowledge, and over the next month, she and George learned more about one another, discovering a shared love for life and their religious faith.
