A Hope Beyond
“James found himself calling this place home more and more, yet his heart was not really here. It had been six months since he’d spoken to any of his family, and he hadn’t found the courage to even drop them a letter and assure them of his well-being. He was ashamed. Deeply and undeniably ashamed.
His actions hadn’t been those of a man, but of a spoiled child who, upon seeing that the game wasn’t being played his way, had taken his leave and refused to play on. Now, toying with the last of his s...upper and considering the next day’s work, James found his heart turning ever homeward. The evenings were always the worst. When the workday was done and everyone went their separate ways, James then realized just how alone he truly was.
It wasn’t a lack of friends that left him feeling so isolated and rejected. He’d managed to make many new acquaintances, among those, the sister of Annabelle Bryce, Mrs. Letitia Martens, and her family. But it wasn’t the same.
Lost in his thoughts over dinner in the hotel where he resided, James didn’t react to the feminine voice that called his name until he felt a gloved hand on his shoulder and heard the voice again.MoreLess
