"After such a long journey, I have prepared some refreshments and food for you, of course," her hopeful eyes filled with longing looked at Andrew who didn't even notice her existence. She spitefully forced a smile as she diverted her attention to the useless, too innocent queen who can't read a room.
"Thank you, I appreciate it a lot," Mary unknowingly squeezed Andrew's arm out of habit when she was wracked with anxiety.
"Thank you, Queen Cinderella, we will be sure to remember your hospitality," Andrew cleared his throat which immediately dried up from the feel of Mary's skin on his.
"Well, of course. As expected of you, Captain Andrew," Cinderella's eyes sharply darted on Mary's hand that squeezed on the captain's arm.
Mary looked at Andrew's face as he cleared his throat. He looked uncomfortable about something. She wondered what it is as she bites down on her lower lip.
