Excerpt:
Chapter 2
“Amaryllis!
What are you doing?”, his voice was dry, raw, and unemotional.
“Nothing
father. I just stepped out to get some fresh air,” Amaryllis quickly walked
back into her room. She could hear her own insecurity in her voice, and her
heart thumped in her ear, and she was certain that her father also noticed her
nervousness.
“Are
you sure?” his eyes became hard with suspicion. “'Tis not like a lady, to walk
about gallivanting in the middle of the night, when she is well aware that
there are putrid, Spanish vermin, running about looking for an opportunity at
infringement,”
“Father,
I was not gallivanting about. You do not trust in my word? I was just out on
the balcony getting some fresh air. As you must know, it gets stuffy in here at
times,” she was trying hard to hide the fear in her voice.
Her
father squinted his eyes to a mere sliver, “Very well,” then turned his back to
her and commenced his march out of her room. However, just before leaving, he
left her with just a few words “Why would one ask if one is not being trusted,
unless one would have a reason to ask such a question?”, then while closing the
door behind him, he spoke for the last time “Good night, child.”
This
time feeling her knees knock together, and certain that her fear was obvious,
she spoke quietly, “Good night, Father.”
MarcoAntonio
had departed just in time. Had her father walked in just a few minutes earlier,
that would have been the end of MarcoAntonio, and in turn, of her as well. He
was so stubborn, she thought. Just like a Spanish man! Then again, just like an
Englishman as well. As a matter of fact, she knew not of any man that was not as stubborn as a mule. At least MarcoAntonio
made being stubborn, cute.
She
was so madly in love with him. Even from the moment that she first met him at
the market.
They'd
just arrived here from England—her family and herself. Her mother decided that
she wanted to shop in the Spanish market for some things, which in her mother’s
language meant that she simply wanted to spend money.
As
they browsed along, when Amaryllis turned to look at some baskets, there he was. Standing like a soldier on
guard, just behind a sweet older lady. His mother, Amaryllis found out in time.
They
had money. Lots of riches. Yet, his mother was so settled in her ways that she
refused to retire from her employment. Whatever
that particular employment would be, at whatever given time. That day in specific, it was basket selling.
Amaryllis,
looked up at him, and he gazed upon her, and that was it. That was all
it took for both of them to know that they wanted to be together forever. “Love at first sight”, indeed.
