"She was the daughter of Florian Wingfield. She shouldn't have to resort to chasing."
Except that chasing was exactly what she was doing, and Flora Wingfield had brought her entire family along to witness her greatest expectation; Lord help her if turned out to be an epic disaster, for her reputation would surely be ruined. After all, Theodore Day had already squandered away plenty of time being best "friends", now she just needed him to take their relationship to the next level. My goodness, she had travelled all the way from New York to New Orleans with her plans to turn Teddy into "her darling Mr. Day", . . . . . by the end of the summer. There wasn't much time.
Flora's arrival was providential! Theodore Day was dreadfully weary of politely declining the hordes of women constantly chasing him around; batting their eyes, inviting him to parties, stealing away precious moments that he needed to be spending on winning the right to head up his father's riverboat business. What did it matter if he was one of the city's most eligible bachelors, he had been set aside twice already after giving his heart away . . . . never again . . . at least for a long, long time. Thankfully he could spend hours with Flora, and her amazing interior designs, without any risk of romantic entanglements . . . . couldn't he?
What a delicious euphony of coy, clever conversations; full of mischief and misunderstandings, leaving a trail of true desires buried underneath voluminous swaths of fashionable brocade. As Flora and Teddy battle to gain trust in matters of the heart (reader beware, it's quite an epic journey, and rather entertaining!) they almost miss the fact that they have never been alone, not really, for God has claimed them as His own, with an admonition to; "Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by name; thou art mine." Belonging. "Always and forever".
