So, since a couple of readers expressed an interest in reading more, I thought I'd take a page from one of my favorite writer bloggers (Lisa at Boondock Ramblings) and post the next part a little early. It's not the anticipated scene, but it comes next in the story. The information Rose is about to … Continue reading Queen of the Garden of Girls, Part 56

Chapter Twenty, continued "You're staring." Robert smiled. "I like your dress?" Elaina snorted. It was true; he liked her dress. Green was a pretty color on her. But he also liked the sparkle in her eyes, the roses in her cheeks, the smile on her lips, the spring in her step. She'd been chattier, too. … Continue reading Queen of the Garden of Girls, Part 55

I, er, sort of forgot about Elaina's friends Lily and Camille. But they're back now, trying to be the protective friends they are. Gosh, this thing really needs a rewrite! Chapter Twenty I took pity on Claudia. I'd seen her at party after party. She wasn't the prettiest or the most graceful. She was nothing … Continue reading Queen of the Garden of Girls, Part 54

Chapter Sixteen Patricia was an okay companion. Not brilliant, but not dull. Just another in a string of unremarkable girls. Picking out a new companion was becoming a chore. Every girl felt like a variation of the one before. Other than her name, I don't remember much about Patricia, except she stayed for a month … Continue reading Queen of the Garden of Girls, Part 46

Chapter Fifteen, continued "Oh my God," she breathed as she caught sight of the rose garden. "This is beautiful and massive. How many different kinds of roses are there?" His cringe puzzled her. "I don't know. I lost count. I think I lost count some time after Anna." "What?" Robert sighed and began to guide … Continue reading Queen of the Garden of Girls, Part 45

Chapter Fifteen Nancy was nice. She was sweet. She was also boring as cardboard. To be honest, I just picked her at random. This companion thing was getting tiring and was starting to lose its luster, if it ever had any. We were polite, but parted as little more than strangers. I planted the __ … Continue reading Queen of the Garden of Girls, Part 44

Note: Since I've been posting this for over a year now, and since I have quite a bit written, these posts will get a little longer for the time being. At least until my creative well dries up and I have a hard time working on it again. Chapter Fourteen, continued They painted in silence … Continue reading Queen of the Garden of Girls, Part 43

Chapter Fourteen Mirabelle shouldn't have been at the garden party. She was just passing through town. Of course I didn't know that, but she made it clear she could and would only stay for a few days. I was desperate for some company other than Mother's and Nigel's, so I agreed and we spent a … Continue reading Queen of the Garden of Girls, Part 42

Chapter Thirteen, continued Rose was not the most predictable person, but Robert knew her better than anyone else. It happened when you were cooped up with the same person for years on end. There were only a handful of people on staff, and Nigel. Well, he was technically a member of the staff, but Robert … Continue reading Queen of the Garden of Girls, Part 41

Chapter Thirteen, continued In hindsight, he should have checked the library first. It would have saved him a lot of walking around. He knew the Hall was massive, but wandering around it trying to find one young woman made it seem bigger. Of course, he should have remembered which young lady was in residence. It … Continue reading Queen of the Garden of Girls, Part 40
