I said “Thank you.” I looked at him and he was staring at me. I asked “You want something?”
He said “You look happy about being in the woods.”
I said “ I love being out here, it’s…”, he finish for me, “peaceful”, I nodded.
I said “Yeah, a lot to think about.”
He asked “What is that?”
I said “Parents want to give me to someone to marry.”
He said “Parents do that.” I laughed.
He asked “What so funny, miss hunter?”
I said “Names Rory, I was laughing because Prince Owen doesn’t want to marry Princess Chloe, the most beautiful girl in the world.”
He looked at me and said “You’re the most beautiful in the world to me.”, I was blushing. My Sister, Sarah called me to come home. I said my goodbyes to him.
~time skip~
The last two months were amazing, I went to the woods everyday and saw Owen there. We talked for hours, and Toby would ask me to marry him now and again. But this day was different because my family has to leave, unless I marry Toby. I said yes to his proposal, and that day I went to the woods wanting to be alone. Owen was there though, I smiled.
I said “Hey.”
Owen turned to look at me and said “Hello.”
Owen and I both said at the same time “We need to talk.”
Owen said “You first.”
I took a deep breath and said “I’m getting married.” he looked surprised and I said “Your turn”
He said “I - I - I love you” he grabbed my hands and kissed me and I kissed back. I pushed him away, I couldn’t tell him I loved him because he has to marry a princess and I’m no princess.
He asked “Why did you push me away?” there’s no way he loves me.
I said “i think I should go.” I go up and left with tears in my eyes.
