Here's a little snippet to tease you:
She made a first step and a second. Water dripped from her body and
splatted into what remained in the well. Her limbs trembled. The coarseness of
the rope nipped through the thin material of her dress and chafed her skin. On
her third step, her left leg gave out and she slammed against the wall,
knocking the air from her lungs and scraping her cheek against the rough
stones. The stranger slackened the rope, allowing her to collapse back into the
water. Harlee massaged her burning face, and even in the dim light saw blood on
her fingers. She used the wet hem of her dress to soothe the burning and dab
the wound.
“Are you okay?” His deep voice resonated and brought her to her senses.
Wouldn’t anyone who’d been trapped in a well for days be just fine? She
took a deep breath and resisted asking him if he was serious.
“Did you hurt yourself?” He yelled louder.
“Yes. My cheek is bleeding and my hands are raw, but I’m ready to make
another try.” Determination drove her.
“Okay, I’m going to start pulling again, so stand up and hold on
tight.”
Her mind whirred with questions she hoped to ask. Harlee struggled to
her feet and took a firm grip on her lifeline. “Pull.”
Despite the pain, she concentrated on each step, unwilling to waiver
until she reached freedom. Her palms burned and the top of the well appeared
miles away. Still, she made sure she kept one foot anchoring her in place
before she moved the other. Many times she wanted to surrender, but looking up
into the blurred face of her hero gave her the strength she needed to continue.
After what seemed forever, sunlight warmed Harlee’s face and a breeze
caressed her soggy skin. The stranger grasped her beneath her arms and hauled
her over the well’s edge. Her feet touched the ground, but overcome by
weakness, she sagged against her hero. He swept her into his arms as if she was
nothing more than a feather and cradled her like a mother would her babe.
“There, there, you’re going to be fine now.”
Somehow, she believed his soothing words…especially because of the
sincerity shining in his sky blue eyes—eyes you could get lost in.
