Very sweet...poor M...having to go without breakfast...but it had to be worth it to catch a glance at the (I'm sure) already dashing young Roxton. And, liked that you had M already preferring the color red in her attire. You write beautifully, Cyn...I've missed a lot of your stories, but trying to catch up.

Cool beans!

I am SO certain that Roxton and Marguerite's paths crossed at the fairie rings. Great job on this! :) :) :)

This was a good idea for a story, nice insights given about what Marguerite's life is like at this point, and how she feels about it. Not much development of Roxton's childhood or his relationship with his mother and family, so that felt kind of unsatisfying, but overall, a nice piece of writing. Thanks for sharing your idea.

I read this before and now that I have sometime to review it. Let me say bravo, bravo. Sweet little story. Characters nicely capture, although, it does makes me sad to see how Marguerite is treated by those nuns. Keep up the good work. :D
