" Hers was not a bold or extravagant beauty but one I found myself appreciating nonetheless. However, it was not the curve of her long, graceful neck, the depth of her dark eyes, or the smooth bronze skin that I found myself admiring most. It was the courage written on every line of her intriguing face. "
