Loving an outlaw

Marianne pov..

"Your highness, are you okay?" I was startled with the voice behind me, when Norma called me.

I looked above and blinked my eyes to get rid of the tears that had brimmed there. 

I gave a last look to the scene in front of my eyes and then turned to her.

"I am fine, what will happen to me. Did you need something?" I asked and she looked back at them and then at me.

"The dinner is served as per your instructions, your highness"

"No, ask them to wait. We will have late dinner tonight.`` I said as I looked at the garden again.

"Yes, your highness" she bowed and left and I turned to see them again.

Cassius was sitting on the carpet with his head in my mother's lap who was gently roaming a hand in his hair and was telling her old stories with a smile. Killian was on the swing laughing and chattering with them. It was in front of my eyes yet it felt like a distant dream.
