She held her hand out reaching for me. I stared at her before having my eyes shift to her hand then back to her face to study it, the moonlight showcase her dark complexion bring her dark brown eyes out as her long lashes rises when she blinks.

"You are tired, no?" She asked and with that question I slip my shoes off taking her hand stepping in the lake with her to only have the water stop at my knee. I held her right hand bring it to lips planting a kiss.

"I am very tired." I told her. "But I would love to know the name of a woman who I having a pleasant experience with." I stated seeing her eyes looking at mine with awe.

"S-Sonia." She answered

"Sonia; how did you get in my palace?" I asked her raising my arm that held her hand she smile spinning around.

"Your cousin Rachel; I am one of her ladies-in-waiting." She answered and I smile happens to cross my face. My uncle and his family will be staying with us for spring a good enough time for me to court this little joy I found.

"Isn't this nice?" Being pulled from my thoughts Sonia asked a question as she was looking up. I did the same seeing the pitch black sky follow with small stars.

"It is." I answered being in the moment. As many women I see from balls and dinner party I have never met a childish yet deep thinker.

"I love thee outside." Sonia spoke softly in a whisper; I brought my attention to her looking up as if she was caught in a trance. "It's beautiful you get to see the world for how it really is; especially at night." She said as I stared admiring her in her truth.

"Yes, simply breathtaking."
