Eleanor and Valentine – Chapter 6
1866

When Valentine came home from the war he weighed 106 pounds and needed a cane to walk. Eleanor greeted him with hugs and kisses but later collapsed in tears behind the house.

She nursed him back to health, and they were married 6 months later. After the ceremony she opened her hand to reveal a tiny wreath of braided grass.

“Valentine Weiss, you will always be the apple of my eye.”
