OM - Small Town
It was a small town, and so word spread quickly that Evelia Synclare was known to leave her home where her sick father resided to spend time with the stranger in the large estate nearby.
It was scandalous. How dare she? All the townsfolk began to gossip about her, her missing brothers, her sickly father, and what some rich man would see in a girl with no dowry.
They had no idea of the truth, naturally. Evelia's two brothers had recently left, and not of their own choice but because Evelia had told them to go. She knew rumors had started and she didn't want them to become any part of it. As for her father, he knew where she spent her time as of late, and he was not quite as ill as the townsfolk believed, thanks in no small part to the herbs that Evelia brewed into a soothing tonic for him. It was all part of her mother's legacy.
As for the stranger, Griogair Colville? Well certainly he was wealthy and there were times when she had wondered the same thing - how could a man like him love someone like her?
Yet, the answer was right there. Love. It was the one thing that no one in the small town seemed to completely understand. Evelia's love for her father, her brothers, and Griogair's love for her.
Love - such a simple concept that eluded them all and in the end, would be the death of her.
