A Touch of Grace (2010)
“Grace stared after the broad-shouldered young man who had just presented her with a yellow rose bud. She sniffed the flower in her hand absently, concentrating more on her thoughts than her senses. She knew he’d picked the rose from the bush at Tante Ingeborg’s, and that meant he’d gone out of his way to bring it to her. He’d also broken off all the thorns.
Grace mounted the back steps and ambled into the kitchen, sniffing the rose all the while. Such a rich, fruity scent, with petals like the ...finest velvet. She’d touched some like it on the trim of one of Elizabeth’s hats. Were roses edible? Not wanting to spoil the petals by taking a nip out of one, she found a small glass, filled it with water, and put the rose in it, the emerald sepals setting the yellow to gleaming.
“How lovely.” Her mother bent to sniff. “Ah, that rose has always smelled so sweet. I don’t know why I don’t go over and pick a bouquet now and then.”
“Jonathan brought it to me.” And he must have come very early.MoreLess
