CHAPTER I - THE BEGINNING
CHAPTER II - MANSERS
On a bright court tucked behind a sleepy town, a spirited young woman and her new husband volley back and forth, their playful banter as lively as the tennis balls they chase. Their first match ends with a kiss and a promise that the joy of their honeymoon will linger long after the net is packed away. Through quick, witty dialogue we glimpse their chemistry and the light‑hearted way they navigate the early days of marriage.
In the moments between rallies, the couple teases each other about the upcoming move to the manse, where the expectations of a Methodist minister’s wife await. Carol imagines the solemn world of the presbytery while David assures her that love will keep the sparkle alive. Their conversation blends youthful exuberance with the gentle anxiety of stepping into a new community, setting the stage for a story about faith, partnership, and the everyday adventures of a newlywed pair.
