The Twists and Turns of Love

the long version

How strange that a carriage accident could bring such enchantment into Petula's life. Buried in the country, she was completely unused to such witty or handsome company as Major Adrian Chester. What good fortune that he was forced to spend the night at the manor house. And what a marvelous evening they spent together. The morning brought still greater delight: "I could not sleep for thinking about you," the Major said and suddenly his lips were on hers. The kiss was so wonderful, so perfect, that Petula felt as if they were alone in a secret place far removed from the world. She thought he would kiss her again, but then he said abruptly: "I have to be on my way as soon as possible." Would the enchantment end now ... forever?
