Deep in the woods Under a tree, sits a young elf lady.
Her long black hair blows in the wind, dappled in light and shade.
In her lap, lies a book, covered in words of fantasy.
Telling of Humans, and their strange world, and how dangerous they can be.
Deep in the woodslurks a man, Rope and bow at the ready.
Hiding in the shadows, He sees her there, The Quiet Young Elf Lady.
In his brain, a plan there forms, of evil and pain and money.
He captures her, he thinks, and he will be rich beyond compare.
So he sneaks up behindto try to scare her, snare her with his rope and wits.
But she jumps and runs, her image brilliant and fleeting. With all the grace of a fleeing doe, disappears the Young Elf Lady.

CHAPTER 15 I pulled up in front of Sandy’s a little early, so I texted Becca again and left a message for Sharon, hoping she had a good day and I’d see her tomorrow. Two cars pulled into Sandy’s driveway. I don’t know why I was surprised to see another man with her. We’d been apart for two years and I certainly didn’t waste any time getting back on the horse.
