Cailina slammed onto Aris' chest. He supported the dazed Cailina with his hands on her shoulders. He looked at her with worry as he placed his palm on her forehead.
"My Lady?"
Cailina snapped out of her trance and dusted her dress. She cleared her throat, preventing her composure succumbed to embarrassment.
"Why don't we take a walk?" she said, walking away without a reply from Aris.
Aris tilted his head but soon followed. He wanted to enjoy the remaining time with Cailina, as when they return to the mansion, he would be back to his post where he never had a close conversation with her. It was a suffocating arrangement.
The silence between them stayed for a while. Both were enjoying the comfortable warmth of the sun. It was past noon, and the heat was perfect for a walk. The light seeped through the leaves of the lively trees as it highlighted Cailina's features and her elegance.
Aris kept his eyes on her, and only her.
