    she sucked in a ragged breath. There were about six of them. The first showed a very compromising picture of Gabriel, with his arms around her and her sister’s dress up over her backside. What was worse was that he was shirtless and her hands were all over him. Her left leg was bent, almost straddling his thigh. They looked like they were having sex, or about to. The second picture showed Gabriel pulling his shirt on her, and then the third looked as though he were pulling her against him, almost kissing her. She knew it was when he’d pulled her dress down. The last three pictures just showed him picking her up and heading into the pool house. “Oh-god,” was all she could whisper pathetically. Daniel tucked his phone back in his pocket, his eyes soft now as he regarded her. “Abigail, I’m sorry I had to show you this, but it shocked me, especially since you’d expressed your desire to take up a religious vocation.” Abigail did not know what to say.

I certainly hope you will be present for my first dinner back home with the family after being away for almost a month.” “O-of course,” she blurted, nodding, unable to meet his eyes anymore. “Good,” he replied curtly, “I’ll see you then.” As he walked off, she sat numbly on the bench of the gazebo. Her entire reputation was ruined. People would see her and think she was…a harlot. She’d never even kissed a man…not even Daniel. She stared at her aunt’s prized rose bushes trailing up the side trellises of the gazebo. The riot of red reflected off the small pond that wrapped around the back of the gazebo. Leaning over the whitewashed railing, she gazed at the array of Koi swimming lazily beneath the cool water. The ends of the willow trailed within the rippling depths of the shallow pond as fluffy white clouds floated across the bright blue sky overhead. Everything looked so perfect and peaceful…so at odds with how she felt. Inside, her thoughts were a riot of turmoil.
