Summary
John Thornton hasn't seen Margaret Hale in sixteen years. His whole world flips upside down when an unexpected visitor turns up at Marlborough Shipping Depot, forcing John to relive the best—and worst—time of his life.
This story is for my dear friend, Mimosa from The Mill at Milton . Mim is always encouraging us writers. She also edits. Overall, she's pretty cool. I'm moving this story from ff.net to here, because she asked me to.
