Love Me With Fury
“Call back yesterday, bid time return.”—Richard II, William Shakespeare Those first two weeks back in Philadelphia passed in a painful blur for Alex. Unable to tell anyone the truth about her recent adventures, she suffered and struggled in lonely silence. Before meeting Captain Joshua Steele, her main concern had been to outwit her father’s determination to arrange a proper marriage for her. Now, her whole world seemed physically and emotionally topsy-turvy.
Many nights she had awakened in bo...dy-shaking sobs, hugging her pillow in urgent need of a fulfillment only Stephen could grant. Would this pain and hunger never cease to torment her? Would his memory always be so agonizingly alive? Her lack of appetite and sleep created a tense, moody girl in the place of the once carefree girl who had first arrived here the end of May.
Henry fretted over these new changes in his lovely niece. Yet, feeling he knew the reason behind her lingering fears and emotional turmoil, he did all within his power to draw her out of this melancholy and reserved state.MoreLess
