Excerpt:
I can handle this. I have to handle
this! A dream is a
dream after all; no matter if she thought she was going to work. No matter if
she wondered at her sanity. So she decided to crack one eye open at a time.
Piece by piece, the man in front of
her appeared.
He grinned. “Quite handsome, aren’t
I?”
Her eyes popped open. Handsome?
Extremely! His black hair was tousled, his startling light blue eyes merry, his
chiseled face astounding.
“No,” she said automatically and
buried her head again.
“Oh.” He plunked down beside her.
“’Tis a thing sometimes, the shock of my good appearance.”
Mildred breathed deeply and hid her
grin. Arrogant. But she couldn’t help but enjoy this dream. It was the first of
its kind. She peeked out from beneath her arm and said, “You’re awfully full of
yourself.”
“Nay.” He looked ahead and shook his
head. “I stopped being that way years ago.”
Still from beneath her arm. “Being
full of yourself?”
“Aye.” He leaned back and stretched
out his legs. “Turns out the lassies dinnae like it.”
Mildred lifted her head slightly.
“Why not? I find it rather becoming.”
“You would.”
“I would?”
“Of course.”
“Why is that?”
“Because you’re arrogant too.”
She sat up straighter. “Am not.”
“Are too.” He titled back his head.
“Do you feel that?”
“What?” But she already did. A cool
wind blew through the forest and brushed her cheek. For the first time since
she’d arrived, Mildred looked around. There existed no steel mill looming in
the distance waiting for her to make parts for planes created for war. There
existed no stream of people trudging into a plant determined to do their job.
Her friends and siblings had
vanished.
“Beautiful, isn’t it?”
Her eyes darted to the man beside her
then back at the forest. “Yes, but I don’t understand.”
“Cannae
you be happy with what is in front of you?”
She heard his accent and saw the
forest and shook her head. “No, I can’t.”
“Too bad.” He jumped to his feet and
held down his hand. “M’lady.”
Mildred looked up, still barely
familiar with everything and shook her head. “No.”
He ignored her and pulled her to her
feet. Stunned, she looked up…and up. It was then that she truly realized the
stature of the man talking to her. With shoulders easily twice as wide as hers,
a height at least eight inches taller and a frame rippled with muscles, he was
overwhelming.
Her eyes drifted over his face. That
face. One she’d dreamed of since she’d been a little girl. Perfectly
proportioned, with a straight nose, square chin, and straight brows, it’d
always been overly alluring.
And those eyes...like the clearest
blue sky sharpened by sunlight.
“Well, what about my attire?”
Her eyes rounded. Yes, his attire
was… amazing.
“You’re wearing a…” She glanced away
and cinched her lips before looking at him again, brows up. “You’re wearing a
skirt.” Mildred paused a minute to get her bearings in front of such a good
looking fellow. But things must be said so she gathered her courage and looked
him dead in the eye. “Are you aware that you wear a skirt?”
With a shocked look, he peered down
and said, “It appears that I am!”
Mildred breathed deeply through her
nostrils and nodded solemnly. “So I’m the first to tell you.”
He looked to the sky for guidance
then into her eyes. “It seems you are.”
“Well, I’m sorry about that but
honestly it’ll get you in trouble, even in my dream.”
