As he unravels the plot he is unable to deny his desire for her. Is he too late in saving her and the love he has for her?

Excerpt:

As she was digging through the trunk her hand brushed across a book. Ivy pulled it out and realized that it was a book of poems that she had lost around the time Marcus left. She opened

the first page and saw her name written across the page as she always did with her books. Flipping through the book, she noticed the pages that she had turned down at the corners of her favorite poems. The pages were worn and had been handled many times. Marcus must have read the book a lot. She came to the back cover of the book where a red rose lay resting against a poem that was handwritten in. The poem was written in Marcus’s handwriting inside the back cover. The title of the poem was:

Ivy My Love

Your love is like a vine

Forever clinging to my heart

It tangles up in between my jagged thorns

I try to break apart

To free myself from your love

But you have grown so heavy in my thoughts

I will let you go for now

For you need to grow wild and free

But I will return to you with my love

And our love will cling forever between the ivy and the

Thorns

A tear slowly slid down Ivy’s face, followed by more. Ivy glided her fingers across the words on the page, feeling the power of them down to her soul. She wanted to ask Marcus about the poem but knew that she couldn’t.
