Hello Darling: Book 1 (Completed)

Taurus (1)

The second sign of the zodiac is Taurus. Taurus is represented by the bull. They have a strong desire to be surrounded by love and beauty and are drawn to the material world and physical pleasures. Individuals born under this sign are sensual and tactile, placing great importance on touch and taste as their primary senses. They are also known for being stable and conservative, making them one of the most dependable signs of the zodiac. So, their Greek God/Goddess is Demeter. Demeter, the goddess of agriculture and fertility, mirrors Taurus' grounded and nurturing disposition. Just as Demeter nurtures the earth to produce bountiful harvests, Taurus thrives in cultivating lasting relationships and creating a stable environment. Because they have a great internal clock and time management, time travel, and manipulation would be their power.

Eloise Mae Newberry, the reincarnation of Demeter.

Eloise's POV

I wiped my forehead from the sweat that was collecting there. I finally finished the harvest. Springtime is finally here and I can collect the harvest to start selling at the market. Mom and Dad worked so hard to get this harvest looking amazing. I have to do my part and get it sold.

"I don't know why you force yourself to collect everything by hand. With your ability, you could have the harvest grown and collected in half the time." I roll my eyes at my sister, Scarlett, who approaches with a cart. I can time travel and time manipulation. I try not to use it very often because everything can drastically change at any slight change in humanity's timeline. I don't fuck with the timeline.

"That's the lazy way of approach. I know I could use my time manipulation to get the harvest grown faster but then it wasn't grown with love and that is the foundation that Mom and Dad taught us and I am not going to go against that just to have fast-growing crops." She scoffs at me and sighs.

"Fine, whatever. Anyway, it's almost time to get to the market. Come on, I'll help you load up the cart." She brought over the cart and we loaded it up with the crops with the spring harvest. So, we have carrots, kale, peas, scallions, radishes, spinach, beets, onions, lettuce, and cabbage. After we load it onto the cart, we bring it inside to get it washed up. I would describe our house as the house you see when the city girl gets transferred to the small town and they see the house in the distance. Does that make sense? We bring the crops into the kitchen and wash off every grain of dirt and soil. We want the people buying our vegetables to have them at their best. Meaning, they have to look good too. 

Once everything has been washed, it gets loaded back onto the cart and we load it into the car. Our parents are already at our booth, getting it ready. After a short drive, we made it to the market. This farmer's market is one of the larger ones in the area. A lot of things get sold here. We live in a small town so everyone knows everyone. I've even babysat most of the kids in the area. I love kids and I truly can't wait to have some of my own. But I'm also waiting for the right guy. You know, the one who is ready to provide for you but isn't afraid to let you do what you want to do in life. 

We walk up the street and everyone greets us. Including Miss Ma'am Simmons. 

"Morning girls! Harvest is looking mighty fine this year!"

"Thanks! You know we try our best to keep it that way!" I comment.

"And you do great! You just save me some of those carrots now, you hear?!"

"Yes, ma'am!" We got to the booth and Mom looked up after hearing the old rickety cart. She smiles and walks over to greet us with a kiss on the cheek and head.

"Hi, Mom. Hi Dad!" He turns around and waves at us with a happy smile. 

"Hi, girls. Did you get everything collected?"
