First Meeting – Claiming the Heart
Barton claimed Belinda in his heart the first time he set eyes on her at elementary school, when she came to class, all of nine years old, the new girl in the camp, just a few doors down from his home.
While some boys teased her just for being new, Barton just watched her move, ever so gracefully, as she sat at her desk, ready to pay attention to the teacher.
Studious, she was, and Barton was hoping he would get a chance to talk to her without sounding as behind as he was with his studies.
He had reasons, and she would figure that out eventually, but he didn’t care so much about that as he did about getting a chance to impress this beautiful red-haired girl with braids and freckles bouncing off her cheeks when she smiled.
Noticing that reading made Belinda smile, he opened his reader and with one eye on her he attempted to learn the words.
