Will taking Victoria to the farm this weekend be a mistake?
Mama insisted he go to college in the big city after Paw died.
He knew he’d be back once he got his agricultural degree.
But, would this city gal he adored want that too?
He felt pride as he showed Victoria around the farm.
Suddenly, stopping and pointing, she asked, “What’s that?”
Those are wild mushrooms growing in dung.
She crinkled her nose with disapproval.
They talked with his brothers and family while Mama brought in dinner.
“Roast pork with wild mushrooms,” she announced.
Victoria crinkled her nose, again.

So hard to find someone who shares a common love of organic flavor enhancers. He’ll recover eventually.

Dear Isadora,
I’d say he might want to look for another perspective bride. I don’t think Victoria with the crinkly nose is the one. Nicely done.
Shalom,
Rochelle

Yes, I have to agree, another bride might be a good idea. I wanted to put in a character that would showcase the opposite of him. Sadly, he will be heartbroken.
