Finding My Way Through Love
love is a dangerous, mysterious, crazy thing. and Anna Marie is loving every minute of it.
Jenna Marie Blake had worked at the grave yard for as long as she could remember. She remembered working with her own Pa, planting flowers near the graves. She couldn't even read at that time, but she knew the name of every flower they planted, every weed they dug up, and of course, what color moss looked best with a particular flower. Everyone who worked at Wood's Cemetery knew those things. You couldn't work there if you didn't.
A young boy, about 18 (which was Jenna Marie's age at the time), was mourning by his Granddad's grave one morning, at about 5:00 o' clock a.m., which is when Jenna Marie's shift started.
"Sir, you know this graveyard is closed?" Jenna Marie asked, eying the handsome young man suspiciously.
"Yes ma'am," he answered, looking flirtatiously and Jenna Marie.
"I'm sorry 'bout your Granddad, but he did get lucky with that grave. It's very pretty. The granite looks new, even though it's been sitting in that one spot for 11 years."
"It does look quite nice, doesn't it?"
"Very nice, indeed."
And that small conversation is how Jenna Marie came to fall in love with the mourner, his name being Elijah Edwards. And that small conversation was also how Elijah Edwards, that lucky mourner, came to fall in love with the beautiful Jenna Marie Daniels. They got married that summer, and two years later, at the age of 20, Jenna Marie Edwards had a beautiful baby girl, who they named Anna Marie Edwards.
Anna Marie had Elijah's seductive blue eyes, and Jenna's perfect lips, nose, and long legs. She was quite beautiful.
Raising Anna Marie through her baby and toddler years went by fast. She wasn't one to fuss, and she slept soundly at night. She was happy, and smart for her age. Now, at the age of 15, Anna Marie is a young 9th grader with a passion for art, music, and dance. And, just like her Mother, she works at Wood's Cemetery.
Jenna Marie Edwards claims that death brings you closer. A statement which here means, "Anna, I don't care how much you don't like working at the graveyard. It's a family tradition, and I met my husband, your father, there, and who knows? You could meet your true love there, too." But Anna Marie doubts it, considering she's already madly in love with Zane McGuire, the boy in her art class. The one with surfer hair, that sweeps ever-so-perfectly across his forehead. The one with the incredible dark brown eyes, the eyes that have trapped so much mystery. The one with the gorgeous body, and perfect lips, and perfect sentences. Every word he says you just want to record and save forever, listen to it every day, and hope that he speaks to you again. Everyone falls for Zane. You can't not fall in love with him. He has that kind of charm.
But Zane has a secret crush, too. Her name begins with an A. Can you guess who it is?
