Ana's POV
Chapter 58
***
I sat down across from Phillip, trying to appear casual. "Phillip."
A little shiver went through me. I just called the crown prince by his first name!
He looked up. "Hmm?"
"Uh....." Now I didn't know what to say. What did I say?
I froze for a moment, staring at him. "Um............. do you like chocolate fondue?" was the first thing that came to my mind.
He gave me an odd look. "Uh, sure, I suppose."
"Oh." I was internally wincing and kicking myself. "Me, too!"
"I also like chocolate cake, in case you were wondering." He was grinning.
I laughed, still a bit nervous. "And what about spongecake?"
He made a face. "No. Just...... no."
"Why not?"
"Too..... spongy."
I giggled. "Well, obviously if it's spongecake it's going to be."
He laughed. "I suppose. But watermelon isn't made of water. I don't mind sponginess, but too much is.... well, too much."
Eric came over and sat next to me, his eyes dull and gloomy again. "Ana, are you hungry?" he asked.
I glanced over at him. "No." Then I looked back at Phillip.
Suddenly, something struck me. I met his eyes again. "Why did you call me that? My name is Anastasia."
His expression crumpled, and he covered it quickly. "I must've heard wrong when Ella introduced us." he mumbled.
I shook my head and looked away.
He stood and walked off into the forest again, expression agonized.
