Courting Constance (Fountain Of Love) - Plot & Excerpts
Prologue May, 1799 Lily was six when she met the boy she knew she would love for the rest of her life. Not many six year olds would recognize something like that, but Lily was more aware than most. She’d sneaked off to run through the woods barefoot, which was her favorite springtime fun. Of course, her father didn’t consider that a worthy pursuit for a young lady. He wanted her to spend her days in the nursery with her nanny, learning to embroider and act like a lady. He didn’t much like her climbing trees either, but that had never stopped her. Through the trees, she saw him, high atop his horse. He was with an older gentleman who she later learned was his father. He followed along after his father, but when his father got off his horse to speak with hers, he dismounted, and followed the trail into the woods instead. When she saw him coming her way, she scurried up the nearest tree as agilely as any monkey. She sat on one of the branches just over the path and watched as he walked below her. If he’d looked up, he’d have seen her bare foot dangling over his head, but he didn’t look up.
