Queen of the Garden of Girls, Part 54

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

So, this part is reeaallyy long. But I didn't like the thought of leaving off halfway through the chapter since I'll be off for two weeks. Chapter Nineteen Giselle was driven. Ambitious. A little scary. She'd come because of her curiosity, and wound up being picked by me. She was starting medical school in two … Continue reading Queen of the Garden of Girls, Part 53

Chapter Eighteen Valerie was sweet, but kind of boring. She had a real love for horses, but not much else. Needless to say, our conversations weren't particularly stimulating, but she definitely won the hearts of all the horses. I think they were sadder than I was when she'd finally had enough of my mother telling … Continue reading Queen of the Garden of Girls, Part 51

Note: And, with this post, I am off for the next few days to celebrate Thanksgiving with my family, but will be back on Monday. To my fellow Americans, happy Thanksgiving! To all my international friends, um, happy Thursday through Sunday! Chapter Seventeen, continued Robert cursed as he looked into the library. It was the … Continue reading Queen of the Garden of Girls, Part 50

Chapter Seventeen Louisa had been sweet. She was quickly toppled by my mother, but at least my time with her was full of innocence and a bliss I hadn't know for a long time. She was fanciful, which was fun, but Mother was not amused. She went running from the Hall in tears and I … Continue reading Queen of the Garden of Girl, Part 48

Chapter Sixteen, continued Rose steeled herself as she gripped the golden key in one hand, the other hand clutching the knob of a nondescript door. It wasn't inside the Hall, but, rather opened out onto the front lawn. The only way in or out was through the door Rose stood before. Her fingers trembled a … Continue reading Queen of the Garden of Girls, Part 47

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 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

At least, the parts I really want to write. Originally published August 7, 2019 A … Continue reading Queen of the Garden of Girls, part 1 (revisited)

Chapter Thirteen continued "Do you think Elaina is falling in love with me?" "Sir?" Nigel asked as he crouched down beside his master to pry the weed from his grasp. Robert's eyes strayed back to the sky as he let Nigel take possession of the cursed plant. "Elaina is so different. Even though countless women … Continue reading Queen of the Garden of Girls, Part 39
