Need You Now
“Can you come a little closer?” she asked as she waved her hand to gesture for me to get closer to her.
I was curious as to what she had in mind but didn’t mind bringing my face closer to hers. Roxanna regarded me with intense interest as she stared deeply into my eyes.
“They really are different colors. It’s just like how Prince Leonard described it to me,” she said as she kept on staring into my eyes.
“Oh…this…” I murmured as I quickly stood up straight again to distance my face away from hers and her penetrating stare.
It surprised me that I had somehow forgotten to keep my distance from people with the fear that they would see the abnormal colors of my eyes. I had let my guard down in front of Roxanna but she didn’t seem like a dangerous person. If anything, she was evidently very pleased to have seen my eyes. I smiled a little to myself when I thought that I must have gotten more comfortable with myself after spending time at the prince’s side.
