It was once she reached her chambers that Queen Elesha wished she could spend more time with King Hans. She got ready for bed that night, had her bath, slipped on her night gown and tucked herself comfortably beneath the thick fur blanket on top of her bed. They would soon be in winter, and as she blew out the candle lights in her room, the temperature dropped and her room would have been enveloped in the cold if it was not for the fire that was burning heartily in the fireplace.
Hours passed and Elesha tossed and turned in vain, she could not sleep. She got up and was about to turn the handle of her door to leave her room, when a figure reached out and clasped her hands. King Hans stepped through the doorway,
"where are you trying to go off to my queen?"
He asked kissing her hands.
"I was going to go to the library, to check if you would still be awake." She answered truthfully.
"Well I'm here, what do you suppose we should do?"
He asked her teasingly.
