Clark’s fingers brushed titles by Natalie’s beloved Lowcountry authors. He browsed the library’s aisles, inhaling book fragrances and sensing traces of her. Literature. Lavender.
Clark approached the librarian. “Library card, please?”
Instead of golfing, Clark returned home and placed his books on Natalie’s empty night stand. He read through midnight.

Very touching…Natalie is gone but through death or another way?
Thank you, Helen. I left it up to the reader to interpret. In my interpretation, Clark lost Natalie to death. A love story.
I love your take on missing someone. Simple yet heartbreaking.
Thank you, Ruth. That means so much to me.
So proud of you for taking on the new challenge of writing. This was very touching and I understood the feeling of lost behind the story.
Clark felt close to her once more. In this way, she was there. So much meaning in so few words.
I am so glad that you felt the meaning of the story. Thank you, Susie.
It is a love story and a very touching one.
I appreciate your kind feedback, Barbara.
