I’m riveted already. Your descriptions of young love are so spot on. Can’t wait to read more.

I’m so curious! I especially loved the line ā€œYou did not become the floor.ā€

This is a fantastic opening. The childhood scene with the ring pulled me in immediately, and then the shift into Esme s home life added so much depth to the world. The detail about sweeping the floor as dignity was such a powerful bit of characterization. I’m very curious about the ring and the Wentworth name now.
