Rykel Deveau has been trapped inside a hand mirror for over two hundred years. Formerly a bit of a womanizer, he was cursed by a gypsy girl’s mother and put into the mirror. He was told that if the mirror ever broke, he would suffer a fate worse than eternal imprisonment. Thankfully, he discovered he can wander around the house like a ghost, unseen, but seeing all.
Danica Lovel, the current homeowner, is a sculptor whose heart was broken by the premiere gallery owner in Manhatten. Her muse of inspiration is the private journal of a man named Rykel Deveau. While getting ready for a gala featuring some of her sculptures, she wishes Rykel was really alive. When she accidentally drops and breaks the mirror, Rykel really is alive. She thinks her gypsy blood made her wish come true. Can she handle the truth and accept Rykel today? Will he even be interested in staying?
This short story is filled with so much emotion and events, it’s as multi-colored as a prism in the light. I loved how each vibrant character and event reminded me of another color of the rainbow. Rynne Raines puts a lot of heart into a short story. The passion of her characters is wonderful to read. A very enjoyable story.
