T-Girl fairy tale 8

“It seems that the Princess is on the hunt for her missing husband to be and is going from estate to estate looking for him. She is here now to see you in case you may be the one.”

Jared said,

“I thought she was going to choose from all the men at the ball. I guess that didn’t work so now she’s down to the stable hands?”

“No silly. Have you not heard? Her chosen one had to leave in a hurry that night and they never got formally introduced.”

Jared looked thoughtful for a moment, but dismissed his suspicions and laughed,

“Well I have never even met the Princess, so I’m sure she won’t find her future husband in me.”

“Still, what are we going to do if upon seeing you she decides she wants you anyway?”

Tears broke over and slid down her cheeks as she stepped up close to Jared and said.

“I know I’ve never told you properly, but I love you and don’t think I could live without you.” A sob escaped her and Jared pulled her into his arms to hold her tightly. He was now feeling even guiltier about meeting the woman at the ball, but he was sure he’d never see her again even though he wanted to very badly.
