"Forgiveness is the fragrance that the violet sheds on the heel that has crushed it."  Mark Twain

Catie O'Connell promised Rand Hansen she would wait for him when he left town several years earlier.  But after ten years of waiting, Catie finally accepts the proposal of a man who has proven himself worthy. Only days before her wedding day Rand appears and Catie is forced to make a heart wrenching decision, run away with the man she has always thought she was destined for, or marry the man who has waited patiently for her heart.  If she only knew the consequences her choices would inflict, would she choose differently?
