Love at First Sight

Chapter 33

Several years later

Clarion woke up that morning to one of her servants knocking at her door

"Queen Clarion, Fairy Mary is here to see you."

"Ok send her in." Mary came into the room

"Good morning sleepyhead."

"You know I sleep in on Saturdays."

"I know but Snow told me to come wake you up. I guess Hyacinth called for an emergency meeting this morning with all of the ministers and talent heads. Something about Tinker Bell again."

"What's she done now?"

"I honestly have no idea but you know how much she gets on Hyacinth's nerves."

"Believe me I know. Alright, let me get ready." Mary left and Clarion started to get ready. She looked outside and said to herself

"What in neverland are the weather control talents thinking today!" it was cloudy and drizzly outside "looks like it's gonna be a little bit cold. Oh well, since when do I care about a little bit of cold." Clarion picked out a warm dress wishing she could wear her usual Saturday outfit instead. Usually, on Saturdays she wore a t-shirt and leggings while she listened to music on her headphones and drew in her sketchbook or colored in her coloring books (art was her favorite hobby) she did her hair up into a bun (she'd rather have it down or in a ponytail) and put on her makeup and her tiara before opening her jewelry box to decide what accessories to wear today.

She decided on her heart-shaped earrings along with the charm bracelet that Milori had given her for her 17th birthday and the locket he had given her as well as her promise ring. She hadn't worn her ring in years but she decided that today it could give her the strength and courage that she would need to get through this meeting and all of Hyacinth's incessant rambling. She had been thinking about Milori a lot lately for some reason. Then she brushed her teeth and headed out to the big meeting room where she held her monthly meetings with all of the talent heads as well as the ministers. After the meeting, Snow stopped her on the way back to her room.

"Hey, Clair."

"Oh hey, Snow. What's up?"

"I was about to ask you the same thing. Are you ok?"

"Of course I am, why wouldn't I be?"

"Because you're wearing that old ring that Milori gave you again. I haven't seen you wear that in years."

"Oh yeah. I don't know, I guess I've just been thinking about him a lot lately. I miss him, you know. It's like I can't get him off my mind. I miss everything about him, the way he would kiss me and sing to me when I'd had a bad day, how his lips always tasted like hot chocolate and peppermint, the way he looked at me, how his face would light up when he saw me, and those eyes. I haven't thought about him this much since that first week after the breakup."

"Well, if it makes you feel any better, Milori can't stop thinking about you either."

"Really?"

"Yeah. I won't say anything to him but he's started listening to Ed Sheeran again. I know that was always your guys' favorite artist, and he put all of your pictures back up in his room, and when I go over to his place to watch the hockey games he spends half the game scrolling through your Instagram stories."

"The fact that he misses me as much as I miss him does make me feel a little bit better."

"I thought it might. Speaking of Milori, I'd better get going. The hockey game starts soon."
