one time for the cherry, two time for sweetness.

“Yes, I have.”

“and you?”

“I had some oats earlier on.”

“you love oats a lot.”

“well, who doesn’t.”

“I will pass.”

I can see the slight smile on the prince's face on hearing this like I had just said something funny. I want to smile back, but I do not see a reason to smile.

“I heard you are heading back to school today?”

I want to ask him how he knows about this. But this will be a dumb question to ask, considering in the past the prince always knew things I had no idea how he knew and randomly popped up in places. At this point, I don’t bother checking my wristwatch anymore. As much as I promised myself, I will be in school in a few hours. I love that I am with the prince.

Will you give me a minute?” he says before dashing into the inner room. I do not know where he is heading to, but I help myself sit on the settee in the middle of the room.
