April Showers, the beginning of spring, new, rain and so much more. In this months #BlogABook Scene, I thought of new love, new beginnings. In the story "Never Had A Chance" the hero was wounded and lost his memory after a cruel trick that had him at the door of a proper young lady. Now, he is an invalid trying to piece the pieces of his life together. The proper young lady has other ideas for his future.

Maria stared at the sky. Blue, a turquoise blue that appeared
artificial. Clouds slowly traveled from north to south, covering and
uncovering the golden light from the sun as she watched out the
window. She was in the kitchen making the green corn fritters. With
each step in the process, she remembered her mother showing her how
they were made.
"I made these for your father, little one, when I decided to
marry him."
"Did he want to marry you?" Maria had asked.
"No, it took a bit of persuading, but in the end he was glad he
pursued me," her mother laughed.
"How did you know, and why green corn fritters?" Maria had
wanted to know.
"I knew the minute I saw him that he was the one for me. And the
fritters, they are an old family recipe, and if you make them with
love, the one who eats them loves you back."
Join me again in May when the theme will be: Mayday! Mayday! Until then, happy reading and don't forget to check out all the other great snippets for March and #BlogABookScene.
