From my time travel romance novel, "Anna in the Portrait"
Nate held the drawings to his
chest and closed his eyes. A feeling of intense joy ran through his body,
causing his heart to expand in his chest and beat wildly. In his mind a vision
appeared of the Sunken Garden as it looked in the early 1900’s. Climbing Rose
bushes on arbors, iris in tall clumps thriving in the background, dahlias with
their blooms of different colors and shapes, and pastel colored tulips standing
tall at the front of each section. Between bushes of lavender, peonies grew
with their full pink blossoms. He could smell the fragrance of the flowers and
feel the warm breeze of the early afternoon.
In
his vision, a girl with long dark hair walked up the stone steps from the
garden. She held a bouquet of freshly cut flowers and turned to talk
with the man coming up behind her. The expression on her face was of pure
elation, echoing the feeling he just experienced when he held the drawings close
to his heart.
When he saw the face of the man he
sucked in a huge breath. The man looked just like him. Nate knew
immediately it was his great-granddad Nathaniel. Nathaniel's gaze locked on
Nate standing in the dormer window and at that instant Nate sensed their souls
connect. He felt what Nathaniel felt, the wild tumble of his heart for the
girl.
