There could be no doubt. She read it multiple times. The note had said it all and yet, it said nothing. Never did she think that her heart could feel pain such as this. Plans had been made. He was her rock. He had been there since she was five. Growing up and sharing dreams, hopes, and goals had become their special time together. She fell to the barn floor in tears. What would she do? What would be the next step? The tears kept flowing. How could he? She would never forgive him. Her heart had been torn into a million pieces. She stood up. Wiped the tears from her face.

There could be no doubt. She read it multiple times. The note had said it all and yet, it said nothing. Never did she think that her heart could feel pain such as this. Plans had been made. He was her rock. He had been there since she was five. Growing up and sharing dreams, hopes, and goals had become their special time together. She fell to the barn floor in tears. What would she do? What would be the next step? The tears kept flowing. How could he? She would never forgive him. Her heart had been torn into a million pieces. She stood up. Wiped the tears from her face. Crumpled the note and what he had placed inside. She stuffed both inside her back jeans pocket. This is where it belonged. From this moment forward, her love would remain hidden. Evergreen left the barn. No second guessing. No turning back. In order for her to achieve her dream, he knew what needed to be done. He had taken his time while writing the note. He knew of her dreams to travel and become a country music artist. He put the blame on him. He had been accepted to college to pursue his medical degree. There was no easy way to say it. One of them had to make a move. It would be best if it were him. He did not want her to know his true feelings for her. That would hold them each back and he never wanted her to think of those infamous words "what if?" He did not want to be her "what if?" He placed the handwritten note and the special gift underneath the hay bale. He knew this would be the spot she would stop. He paused and looked around. The moments and the memories made would never be erased. Landon left the barn. No second guessing. No turning back. The rose, the journey, the song - Stolen Roses.
Autorenporträt
de de was raised on a farm in Deatsville/Rooster Run, Kentucky, Deanna's grandparents had a lasting impression. This was the upbringing that brought forward the meaning of volunteering and helping your neighbors. Many memories were made with BeaBea, her grandmother who always made sure that if there was a need, the need was met. Buttered pies, hankies, socks and washcloths were always ready to find a home for church friends, neighbors and acquaintances. BeaBea exhibited kindness, caring and compassion - the Three Cs is what she called them. Even though, we all knew kindness did not begin with a "C", BeaBea assured Deanna that it did because BeaBea had captured her attention to inquire of the "C" and that's what was being done by volunteering and giving back to those less fortunate. BeaBea saw the need and instilled that need of empathy for others in Deanna. Deanna grew up with a sister who had a way with words. She was the debater in the family, not Deanna. Her sister, at an early age, had an influence on the dream of becoming a romance writer. Many weekends, Deanna and her sister, de de Cox would sit and read for hours and discuss how they would one day become romance writers. The discussions were intense and humorous. Deanna's sister is still her best friend. They work together and still share dreams. As time marches on, Deanna married her best friend from high school. She proposed, because she knew he would not. He tells friends "Deanna caught me in a weak moment". The weak moment has turned into 34 years of marriage. Deanna has one child, a son. His heart is one of compassion. There is no greater joy than to receive the gift of life - a child for whom you have prayed for. When the book became an idea, it was at an age when the stars were aligning. Deanna began writing at the age of 34. But the book took a backseat due to life and the birth of her son. Life as it is now consists of a husband, a son, a one-eyed cat (rescue), a foster fail bulldog, adopted now, and another foster bulldog, full time job (with her sister, of course), volunteering and serving with many charities, pageants and NOW a romance writer. Deanna has always been known as de de (the designated driver). And yes, it is spelled correctly. Of course, that is also to capture your attention. The 3Cs have played an important role in de de's life and continues. The memory of that conversation with BeaBea has never been forgotten and is being handed down to the future. The journey is but a step toward the path that God has opened. As you take the turns and twists, remember all those who have met you along the way and continue the journey.
