When Lord Andrew Charles Howard couldn't find Karissa sitting under the tall, oak, tree sitting on top of the hill that overlooked StarFleet Academy he would drive out to see Karissa at Madame's Boarding House.
One morning his father and mother saw him walk out of Norfolk Estate and Lord Charles Andrew JR asked his son, "Where you are going to my son?"
"I am going to travel out to Madame's Boarding House to see Karissa. She is not at her usual place father." Lord Andrew Charles tells his father.
"I love her so much father, but I don't know how she feels about me." Lord Andrew Charles tells his father.
"Lord Andrew Charles. You can make someone love you. It doesn't work that way." Lord Charles Andrew JR tells his son.
"I have to win her father." Lord Andrew Charles tells his father, "I have been waiting for her for the last 5 years."
Lord Andrew Charles climbs into his carriage and the carriage pulls out of Norfolk Estate and it heads for Madame's Boarding House he sees the people gather in the streets to watch his carriage pass by and he waves to the people.
Lord Andrew Charles Howard's mind is somewhere else like out at Madame's Boarding House where Karissa is at.
Finally the carriage pulls up at Madame's Boarding House and he climbs out and he heads for the garden he knows where Karissa is and the garden door is open and he stands by the door and he hears the sweetest voice sing "Come To My Garden."
"Come to my garden Nestled in the hills There I'll keep you safe beside me
Come to my garden Rest there in my arms There I'll see you Safely grown and on your way
Stay there in the garden Where love grows free and wild Come to my garden Come, sweet child
Lift me up and lead me to the garden Where life begins anew Where I'll find you And I'll find you love me too
Lift me up and lead me to the garden Come to my garden Where life begins anew Rest there in my arms Where I'll tell you, There I'll Where I'll show you See you safely grown A new life, I will live for you. And on your way"
Lord Andrew Charles stands by the door before he enters and he listens Karissa to sing her song and he enters, " I looked for you at StarFleet Academy on top of the hill." Lord Andrew Charles tells her.
"I don't go there every day Lord Andrew Charles." Karissa explains, "I have the garden here."
"I heard you sing. You never told me you could sing." Lord Andrew Charles tells her.
"I can do many things Lord Andrew Charles . I just don't show off." Karissa tells him.
"You sing beautifully." Lord Andrew Charles tells her.
"I am glad that you enjoy it." Karissa states, "What brings you out to Madame's?"
"You do Karissa." Lord Andrew Charles tells her.
"I love you Karissa Elizabeth Ann Lowell." Lord Andrew Charles tells her.
"How can you love someone that you don't know very well." Karissa asks.
"I feel it my heart Karissa." Lord Andrew Charles tells her.
"The heart is a lonely hunter until it finds what it is looking for it keeps searching until it finds it." Karissa tells Lord Andrew Charles.
"My heart has found what it has been searching for since I was 18 years old." Lord Andrew Charles explains, "I am 24 years old now and that was 6 years ago."
"I was only 13 years old years ago Lord Andrew Charles and I was happy." Karissa explains, "All of sudden nuclear war breaks out in the United States and radiation takes over. "
"I saw my father and mother come down with radiation poisoning by drinking the water that was tainted, eat the food that destroyed them slowly and finally claimed their lives." Karissa explains, "All of a sudden I am orphan."
"The only thing that kept me alive was the love of a good man and he dies of prostate cancer." Karissa tells Lord Andrew Charles.
"Do you know what he asked me to promise?" Karissa asks Lord Andrew Charles.
"No I have no idea Karissa what?" Lord Andrew Charles asks.
"He asked me not to cry when he lay dying." Karissa tells Lord Andrew Charles .
"When he died he was in my arms and I covered his face up and ran to the chapel and begged Odin to take me too, but he didn't." Karissa tells Lord Andrew Charles.
"Odin must have had a good reason not to have taken you." Lord Andrew Charles tells Karissa.
"I don't question Odin why he kept me alive, but I did ask him why he took the only man that I will ever love." Karissa tells Lord Andrew Charles.
"You have to learn love again and I hope I am the one that you will come to love." Lord Andrew Charles tells her.
"You only have to give me the chance I will not disappoint you." Lord Andrew Charles tells her.
Karissa looks at Lord Andrew Charles and she tells him " I have to think about it."
"Fair enough but you have to love again." Lord Andrew Charles tells her, "I won't' give up Karissa and eventually I will win you and you will love again."
