A Refuge At Highland Hall (2015) - Plot & Excerpts
A cheerful bird sang from a nearby tree. She lifted her hand to her mouth and stifled a yawn. It had been a long night, waiting for the babies to arrive, and still they hadn’t come. Dr. Foster said not to worry, first babies usually took longer, but she couldn’t help feeling anxious. She took the path toward the kitchen garden, praying she’d find Marius there and be able to speak to him. She passed under the archway and entered the garden. Four men worked among the vegetables and flowers. The lone guard sat on the bench near the far wall. Lydia spotted Marius digging in a row of carrots with a spading fork. His shirt-sleeves were rolled up, and his straw hat shaded his face. She started down the path toward him. He lifted his head and looked her way. Relief flashed across his face. She offered him a tired smile as she passed, then bent and picked some parsley and rosemary from the rows of herbs. He continued lifting carrots from soil, shaking them off, then placing them in a wooden crate near his feet.
