I hide behind a wall, expecting the King to come to me. I heard footsteps and just as I had expected, the King indeed arrived. He grabbed my hand and pulled me in close to him, he stared into my eyes, fascinated by the dark color of them. I stare at him with a frightful yet determined expression. He pulls me in closer and whispers in my ear. "I dreamt of this moment for a long time. Anne, you must know I desire you with all my heart."
I step back a little, and we both continued to stare at each other. Suddenly, he grabs onto my neck, examining me as if he was suspicious of me. I could barely breathe.
"The young man I saw you with.....who was he?"
A smile of coyness spread across my face. "My brother, George."
He laughs a little, glad that his suspicions were nothing to worry about. He lets go of my neck and holds my face. I hear laughter ringing from the court. It echoes into my ears and I hear approaching footsteps of multiple people.
"Her Highness expects me." I quickly dashed off until he was out of my sight.
"ANNE." I hear him call after me.
Uncertain of my exact whereabouts, a thought enters my head. I remember now. Sir Thomas Wyatt expects me under the tree, near Hever Castle, we always spent time together, before he got married.
