Classes had started and Annette soon had a number of  friends.She took a great deal of interest in her studies and the days passed by amiably.Soon she discovered that she was stable and methodical.These attributes lead her to believe in the world of medicine.

The professors at Grimley Hall soon established that she would do very well in the field of nursing.She had to leave the convent and migrate towards a new profession which would give her both completion and realisation .

She had procured a scholarship and soon joined the National League of Nursing.The hours were grim but she proved to be both dedicated and progressive.

It was a bright sunny morning in summer when a visitor came to meet her.She had finished her practicals and was going back to her room to freshen up and join the rest for lunch when she was asked to go to the office.Well it couldn't be her mother.

As she entered the office she could see the back of a tall figure dressed in a tweed
suit.He stood up as she walked in.

" There you are ," he said.
The colour in her cheeks began to rise and she looked beautiful as she stood with beads of perspiration on her forehead.
" Hello Harry," she began.
"Hello ," he replied.
" It's been a long time," he continued.
They left the office and walked to the grounds .
" How have you been?" he asked.
" Busy," she replied tentatively.
" I got the news  of your whereabouts from your mother," he stated.Two years had passed since she had last seen him.

Harry had grown into a handsome youth.His broad shoulders and athletic build added to his personality.
He was enchanted to see that Annette had grown into  an attractive and graceful lady.He held her hand at length and said," Annette will you marry me?".

It was sudden and impulsive but Harry Thompson meant every word.
