Matthew's Dream

Months passed, Catherine and I would spend time together in the library. My love for her grew in those secret meetings. She wasn't like the girl in the rumors. She was more than that.

We would see each other almost everyday and would just sit at the corner on the third floor and talk about our dreams. Our real dreams, not the one that was given to use but the one our hearts wanted.

She wanted to travel around the world, go to the north pole to see the polar bears. I thought it was weird but she was really different from other normal girls. She was a princess but she never wanted to follow traditions. She wanted to live in the future and not meddle in the past.

"How about you? What's your dream?" She asked me once.

I took a deep breath and stared at the ceiling.
