Zeph's POV
I was looking at her exquisite face as her eyelashes began to droop and soon she was asleep looking as serene as her name. I pulled her closer to me so she won't feel cold, her beautiful silky hair waving and fluttering in the gayle which was blowing. I was hoping I had taken her mind off the turmoils she has been facing lately. She looked so peaceful now, sleeping in my arms. Never in my wildest imagination, I had thought that I would ever fall in love with a princess. I wasn't even sure how to tell her, although I knew she had feelings for me as well but to what extent? And what if her family didn't approve of me?
I didn't want to put both of us through heartbreak, so I rendered it safe to not go down that lane yet. My thoughts kept me awake for quite a while but soon I drifted into folds of sleep as well.
