SOPHIA As I stood in the grand hallway of the Palace, my heart skipped a beat when I saw him turn and walk towards me. My palms turned clammy, and I felt a sudden rush of shyness and nervousness wash over me. I tried to look over his shoulder to the lady who had just walked away, but his height wou
ASHERIt was no wonder how or why I spent my entire counting the seconds. Waiting for the long day to end before I could see Sophia again. Believe it or not, I spent my entire day thinking of date ideas. I didn't want to take her to a fancy restaurant, she was probably expecting that. Also, no one

SOPHIA I turned on my heels and ran as fast as my shirt legs could take me. I didn't care that my knees were still very weak from the after effect of being so close to him, I didn't care that I could still drink in the scent of his minty breath that kissed my nose whenever he spoke. All I cared abo
My right nostril twitched, but I did my best to keep calm. Adeline wanted to see me flare up, I refused to give her the opportunity. "Gaston was supposed to be watching them." "Yeah. I sent him on an errand and offered to take his place till he was back." "You shouldn't have." "But I should. I m
