Being dazed in her own thoughts Penelope worked mindlessly. She moved around without looking. Her hand sizzled on the hot pot once.
"Hey! Careful, just stay there on the beach for now I will get your finger looked at once! You need to take care of yourself!!" Theo had left all his work at pause just so he could run to Penelope and blow cold air at her finger. Never in her life did anyone overreact that much for a small burn. Penelope felt special when she was with the dwarfs. They treated her like a princess. She was their princess... But she never considered herself as a princess, though she was adopted into the royal family, that was the only thing that she considered... She was adopted. An adopted princess.
She smiled at him. They walked to the beach and they settled there. She felt low even though she knew she had no right to be sad among all the people she was with.
