Giovanni’s Angel. Each week I will post approximately 100 – 150 words from this
installment of the series. Please visit the

Eternal
Curse: Giovanni’s Angel chapter 7
Feeling as though she was immersed in a pool
of water, Mira struggled to hear Giovanni’s thunderously soothing voice, call
out her name from beyond. “Mira, wake up; please, Mira.” Giovanni found her
asleep and shivering in the woods clinging to the trunk of a tree. He picked
her up and carried her back to the house. Her body was cold from being out in
the fall air. There were a few fallen leaves in her hair from sitting under the
tree, and despite the cold, her pulse was racing from dreaming so hard.
Finally, they reached the steps of the porch
and Giovanni sat Mira down on the top step. He briefly examined her for cuts
and bruises, and then held her body to warm her and send her feelings of
comfort. She was still a little cold from sitting in the shade of the tree;
Giovanni continued to hold her close.
