"Did you find it overwhelming inside?" Zayne asked the moment they were in the clear of having no one around.
"No. Once I didn't think about the stares, I settled in well. I," Rose started but first turned to her mother who already backed them. "I just wanted to talk about feelings. If you just let me ramble for a moment. I fear this is the only way I can say what is on my mind."
"I have told you that I am still trying to understand everything. That being with someone was never in my plans but I am quite certain that I do not like thinking of when you would not be near. I have not fully convinced myself that we are equal. You appear well above me in my eyes and sometimes it is not so bad," said Rose.
She had moments of liking that a man like Zayne cared for. He had helped her without expecting something in return. To know that a prince saw something in her sparked a new confidence.
