He had been standing over her almost a year ago; fully dressed and as a handsome nineteenth century Italian Plantation owner and merchant ship Captain. He had found her unconscious and injured from a malevolent time bending storm that had slung her back 174 years from her era into his. She had traveled to Virginia's Eastern Shore in 2012, for a painting retreat at the restored plantation. Giovanni had promised to love and protect Caroline with his life if necessary; and he had the scars to prove his resolve. A prophesy Caroline had told him about from the twenty-first century forewarned of her death and the death of a single baby girl in less than a year's time from a terrible plague brought back from the Caribbean islands. Finding herself stuck in the Nineteenth century was frightening, but she found her way when Giovanni became her champion. He rescued her, then married her. Since her pregnancy, he had kept all sick indentured servants working at the 1800's plantation away from her. They were confident the future had been changed when they went to Jamaica instead of Trinidad. Because of the prophecy she foretold; they didn't bring back indentured servants from the islands. The curse had to be broken.
