"Legend says, when you can't sleep at night, it's because you're awake in someone else's dream."
(a quote I found online--not my words :)
Can you guess who this pretty little thing is? Yep. Do you love her as much as I? <3
Nick dropped his feet one by one onto
the wooden planks of the floor and crept to the pallet in the corner where
Imperia slept. “Imperia?”
She was awake in an instant and
smiled at him. “Leaving, Nick?”
He nodded; there was a catch in his
throat that blocked everything he’d meant to say. He scratched his nose and
shifted from one foot to the other.
“Will you write to me?” Imperia
asked.
“Often as I can. And you write to
me, on your honor.”
Imperia raised a small finger and
made a cross on her chest. “On my honor—and as often as I find a penny for
postage.” She smiled at him—a moon-beam smile, Nick thought. Just as white and
translucent as the light of the moon.

Dear me, I'm in love with Imperia already. The picture is so sweet! :) And Nick is a dear chap himself! I'm quite in love with Scuppernong Days! ;)
