Counting Stars (A Donnelley Brother's Novel) - Plot & Excerpts
They were beautiful. A large round Canadian diamond shimmered in the center of a white-gold band imbedded with smaller diamonds. The wedding band matched the band of my engagement ring. I remembered when Derek had proposed. We’d been hiking through the Maligne Canyon in Jasper. I’d been taking a picture of the waterfall to turn and find him holding the shimmering diamond in between two fingers. Down on his knees, he’d asked me to marry him and I’d just stood there—completely speechless. The way his green eyes had glittered in the sunlight as he stared deep into my eyes made me feel a certainty I had never before experienced. And I knew, he was the man for me. Diving into his arms, I’d agreed to become his wife. In that moment, I believed he would be my very last. Now, sitting here as I twist his rings around my finger, I know that won’t be the case. At twenty-three, I’ve loved deeply and lost terribly. Some might say I’m lucky. And in a way I know I am, because I had him.
