Forget Me Not (The Heart's Spring) - Plot & Excerpts
She was still reeling from the one that had crackled last night between her and David. Hugging her knees close and tucking her hands inside the sleeves of the shirt he had let her borrow, she waited beside the cold ash that used to be their fire. She didn’t want to wake him up. Didn’t want to disturb him, afraid of what the sleeping bear might do if riled. Even as she thought it, though, she didn’t think he would truly hurt her. How long until the sun would clear the clouds away? The hazy morning was making her homesick. What she wouldn’t do to be sitting at the kitchen table beside Sarah Anne, with a hot cup of tea and some sugary cakes to munch on. Yet there was little comfort in the thought, not when she longed for those things so desperately, and not when the guilt chomped on her conscience. She was dead to Sarah Anne. She had to be. David stirred, a moan escaping him as he sat up in his bedroll and ran a hand through his messy brown hair.
