Kate hugged him with his excitement. She wrung the water from her clothes, "Yes. He wants me to marry who I love. He did. Father, as you may know, was born a nobleman. My Grandfather gave him the title upon his deathbed. Papa loved mama. I never understood her death."<br/><br/>Kate tensed her face thinking, "Sorry, I am trying to remember all I want to say to you. This is remembering a speech.  I want to see you every day. The king's guards take rotating shifts and we have weekends together. Oh. I remember. Jon. He has become a problem. I can not talk to my friends since has returned. He asked Papa to keep me confined to my room. Cedric, he is paranoid an orc is under my bed, in the closet, and in the privy. We go outside and he patrols around the manor before I can get on my mare. I am going crazy. I am trying to be patient. Seriously, I cannot go into a room without him doing a recon. I need breathing space. I know enough destruction magic to protect myself. I do not want to miss the tree lighting ceremony, exotic performers, and revelry. Ice skating is my favorite thing. It was."<br/><br/>She kissed his cheek, "Kissing you is now my favorite. You have always been a part of me. Ever since the day you arrived you have seemed lost. I want you to feel loved. I want you in my life every day. You deserve to be happy."
