Aurora of North Manitou Island
“Harrison?” She waited, but he made no attempt to respond. Despite the fact that he was a normally tacit man, his silence worried her. Stepping beside him, she spoke quietly. “Harrison, I came just as soon as I could so we can be married.”
Harrison glanced at Aurora briefly, then turned away, looking out the window at the bleak clouds. But he barely noticed the steely gray canopy overspreading the Manitou Passage. The gentle scent of her apple blossom toilet water surrounded him, filling him with an awareness of her presence. The decision he had been forced to make due to his injury became more abhorrent to him by the second. How could he send away the young woman he loved beyond life itself, and had wanted more than anything else in the world to take as his wife?…Now, he reckoned with an agony far greater than his physical injury—the anguish of calling off the wedding. It was for her own good.
“Go away, Aurora.”
