Bessy is my female character in this story I’ve lined up. A middle aged woman she is herself. Bessy never left Vermont as her family roots are here. Sure much has changed throughout the years. She tries her hardest to “find the good” when she can. This is quite challenging at times of life’s demands. Bessy owns her own jewelry shop! She did this on her own. Her Mom and Dad wanted her to run the family business but Bessy has a mind all her own. Word at the coffee shop is Blake is coming back. She hopes it’s just a “rumor” but somehow she doubts that. Things ended on shaky grounds between the two; and to imagine him back in town? It’s not easy to do. Childhood friends that dated all through high school; she pictured marrying him, but he didn’t want to. That’s all I have for today; will you be back? What do you say?

Great story,I will be for more. Your story is about Bessy's emotional journey as she navigates the complexities of her past relationships, particularly with Blake, while also striving to maintain her independence and optimism in her life and business.
Another chapter written and well done Sharon
Thank you
You are most welcome
I know Bessy - probably! lol.
lol thanks Orchiee
She's a fine gal. lol.
Sharon, I apologize for the delay…just came off finishing a composition and it took a bit out of me. That aside, your poem has a lived-in feel here…Bessy comes across as someone shaped by her choices, steady but not untouched. The quiet hint of Blake returning adds just enough tension to carry it forward without forcing anything. It feels natural, grounded, and worth following. Strong start. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
Thank you Tristan
