BOOK 4: One More Thing

"Thank you, Queen Cinderella, we will be sure to remember your hospitality," Andrew cleared his throat which immediately dried up from the feel of Mary's skin on his.
"Well, of course. As expected of you, Captain Andrew," Cinderella's eyes sharply darted on Mary's hand that squeezed on the captain's arm.
