Marjorie:
I ran as fast as I could through the crowd of people and into the woods. I kept going until my legs were too heavy to take another step. Out of breath, I stopped and rested for a little. It was very quiet and there was no one in the forest. After looking around, I took off my hood, as I was soaked in perspiration. I wiped away the sweat and sat down against the tree.
After I recovered, I walked back to the castle, disappointed in myself. What was I even thinking, going all the way there for a man I barely knew? I was not thinking at all. That was the problem.
I snuck back in, changed into my gown and sat alone in my quarters.
“Your Highness! Thank heavens you're back safely!” Annette gushed, barging in.
I sighed, “Annette, I'm not a child.”
“Then stop acting like one!”
