Something Blue, Someone New
I carefully thought about what gifts I could give William, but felt nothing was worthy of him.
Already feeling guilty and distressed, when faced with William's gentle gaze, somehow... When I decided to let go of Henry, I didn't cry. When I left Verdancliff where I'd lived for over twenty years, I didn't cry. When Henry refused to return my ring, I didn't cry either. But now, my tears wouldn't stop flowing.
William was clearly flustered. Though he was elegant in manner and proper in speech, a well-bred young master, he was awkward at comforting girls. His clumsy attempts to wipe my tears with tissues were endearing.
