THE UNBOUND BOOK PROJECT: The Enchanted One Chpt. 8
“Lizzie could feel Madison watching her even as her employee dug into her sandwich. Sighing, Lizzie raised her spoon to her lips and took a mouthful of golden broth. It tasted of nothing, but the warmth was comforting. She ate another small spoonful, noticing Madison was now focused on her own food.”

“She stopped when she felt what she was searching for, a thin pulse. What she called The Letting Go. It was coming from a bucket of irises and although their pulse was thready, they would still be sellable for a week at least. She searched for other flowers needing her attention.”

FATAL
“When she looked up at the sound of yet another gurney, she knew before they passed by her view that this person had breathed her last breath long before reaching the hospital.
