"Did you have a good dream my lady?" Enna asked. "You were laughing in your sleep."

I could feel the hot blush on my skin as I nodded and went to the table to eat the breakfast she had prepared. The next week or so was a complete whirlwind of preparations and fittings and sneaking off to gain some quiet. It was during one of those times as I disappeared in the vast shelves of the royal library that I saw him. Towards the back, hidden by a few bookshelves he was sitting in a small window seat, sunlight streaming down on him through the stained glass. It made his hair shine like obsidian, and as he read there was this contented look on his face that made me feel warm inside. I wondered for just a moment, if this was what love felt like. But it felt different from the fierce passion described in the book.
