Yelena get ahold of herself and brushed away the Prince's caring and gentle hands. She wished to tell him all her worries and fears; but she didn't want to lean on anyone, not again.
She used to lean on her brother. But when her brother was gone, she felt like she was going through hell! Her fiance whom she thought would be with her forever, also easily changed his heart. So she learned that nothing was promised forever. She must be just strong on her own.
"There's no such thing. Let's return to the Guest House now, Your Highness." She said, drawing a clear line between them.
Prince Felix understood that he should stop for now. He should not push so hard at once. He agreed and followed her quietly.
The ride back to the Guest House was occupied by complete silence. Yelena drove her jeep car with the Prince sitting beside her.
No words but both minds were occupied by one another.
