LATER THAT FOLLOWING DAY Eden had gotten ready for another ball that was being thrown. She arrived on time like usual and the first thing she did was search for him , once she saw him her smile appeared brighter then it has shun all day.

He grounded her in more ways then one , just like how she made him feel calm he made her feel at home when she was with him even if she wasn't physically in the comfort of her palase.

Flower petals flew around as Eden and Benedict entered the ball room had in had and headed straight for the dance floor. " Your gown is absolutely breath taking Your highness" Benedict commented making Eden smile as she gazed up at him. Their feet dancing along to the music that played , his hand in hers and his other on her waist while her other layer gentally on his shoulder.

" Eden." She corrected. " And thank you Benedict you look dashing tonight might I say." She smiled. His gaze softened as he lost himself in her eyes.

The butterflies in his stomach began to grow and he loved and hated the feeling all at once. To him it was unsettling yet amazing to feel. Unsettling because he's never felt it before other then when he's with her and he finds it odd but amazing because it was only her that did this to him.

He stood there as they held conversation , he was mesmerized by her beauty and almost didn't hear her question.

" Have you drawn anything recently?" She asked intrested.

" Of course I have , you know me so well. I draw almost everyday on my free time. Although I have been having a bit of an Art-block. Having figured out what to draw in about a week" he lied to her. Benedict had been drawing many portraits of the girl based of memory.

Last ball for example the following morning he had drawn her in the gown she wore that night and stared at it for hours. It wasn't as good as looking at her in real life but it was close to it.

" When will you draw me ?" The woman asked teasingly".

" When we both have clear schedules that aren't filled with absolute clutter" Benedict laughed. Eden giggled at his comment and stared into his eyes as he spoke.

He noticed her stutter was slowly but surely going away– or it wasn't present when talking to him. Eden hadn't noticed but He had and he smiled at it as he spoke once more.

" I'm sure I can find time for us on my schedule. I just have to know if you are also free , love" he spoke and Eden smiled up at him her perky whites glowing.

The two talked all night and danced eventually parting ways.

Once the ball was coming to a very sad ending Benedict and Eden walked arm linked with arm to her carriage were she said her goodbyes and he bowed with a wave.
