She sat on the other side of the bench studying him openly.He chuckled. "I assure you I am no apparition. You, on the other hand-" He took her hands in his own and apologized immediately for the forwardness it implied. "I don't know how to express my thanks. You're the real thing.""The real thing?""My angel."The color returned to brighten her cheeks. "I am no angel.""No?" He caught her eyes and

It had been many weeks since the princess had taken a walk in the gardens with the young knight. Then one night she had a dream about him. In the dream he was in a fierce battle in which he had fought for many days and finally, exhausted and war-torn, he had to face the greatest enemy of all. She watched him climb painfully to the top of a high hill, already wounded and with blood soaking through

They walked among the gardens for hours, talking and laughing. As the sun began to dip toward the horizon, the young knight spoke quietly. "I must go now."The princess was playing with the stalks of her wildflower bouquet. She looked up at him, genuinely surprised. "So soon?
