In secret, all Bethany wanted, was a new gown for her birthday ball. Her brother, Daniel, insisted upon escorting her to the big city of Wellington. She should feel ecstatic, after all, the gown was for a grand ball But, on February 16th, 2564, she would be officially old enough, to be considered...a spinster Their trip came to an abrupt stop when Lord Andrews intercepts them, requesting Daniel's immediate assistance. Daniel, a Corpsman, did not hesitate to accept, while Bethany was quickly swept away to Lord Andrews's home to await their return. Fear washed over Bethany when Lord Andrews returned, covered in blood, and without her brother Lord Andrews and his wife, Rebecca, immediately escorted Bethany to Wellington to be by her brother's bedside. Once there, Bethany unexpectedly found herself helping the Doctor as his Nurse. One patient, in particular, Colonel McInnis, a widower with two small children, had a temper so hot, that he regularly decorated Bethany's day dresses with oatmeal Even so, something about him called to her. Perhaps it was the sadness in his eyes? Whatever it was, when it came time for Daniel to go home, leaving the Doctor and the Colonel behind was harder than she thought. She believed she would never see them again. Little did she know...everything...was about to change
