—Princess Iris—
"I love you…"
It doesn't feel like it's the first time he said it. But everything stirred up in my mind. The memories of Aelia and Gavin.
From the start, they met by the lake. The first they looked at each other's eyes, there's a spark between them. Gavin smiled at her, quickly picked an iris flower, ran to her, and extended it to her.
"Milady," he said softly. Aelia flushed and took the flower. "I'm Gavin," He introduced himself as he extended his hand. She held his hand to respond.
"I'm Aelia."
"What a beautiful name?" He bent down and kissed her hand gently. Aelia's cheeks heated even more. "Do you live nearby? I always go to the market." He asked without letting go of her hand.
"I buy a few ingredients daily…" She mumbled.
"Shall I escort you home? Or are you going somewhere else?"
"I'm picking mushrooms."
