Heidi was glad that Nicholas didn't question on her decision and plea to not to go and see her family. She hadn't meant to say it, not out loud at least but before she could think about it clearly, her words had flown out of her clouded mind. She wanted to tell him, share things that had been bothering her but she was scared at the outcome. Just because the lord had told her he liked her, she didn't want to take chances. At the same time she wanted to tell him, trying to build up the courage within her to talk about it.
Biting her bottom lip, she readied herself to tell him about the Duke's plan. As every second passed by she told herself to open her mouth to speak to him but she couldn't. The tension in her mind built up so much that she could feel her head throb in pain. Maybe not today, she calmed herself. She would do it tomorrow.
