CHAPTER 9

• I opened my eyes to a pair of green ones staring down at me and I forced them close almost immediately, my heartbeat picking up again. I’m not sure where I am or what time it is and the air surrounding me was almost suffocating. Pull yourself together, I tell myself before forcing my eyes open again and I’m met with the same green eyes one more time. This time, he has a smirk on his face.
• Seeing him up close made it even harder to breathe properly. My cheeks were instantly flaming hot at his close proximity. He’s the cutest thing ever, and I could keep staring into those eyes forever and get lost in them.
• “She is awake,” a particular female voice says and I whip my head to see the princess and Petra on the other side of the room, looking down at me as if they were too scared to come close.
