To Wear A Bridal Veil

Fred is finding it hard to be with me; a Princess... Should he grit his teeth and follow me just because he loves me? I want him to be happy and not uncomfortable.

Talia's eyes clouded as her heart sank. She leaned on his chest and she heard the rhythmic beating of his heart. It was loud and clear and she could sense he was calm.

"Iris?" Arthur didn't hear her speak for some time and realised she should be sulking.

I really shouldn't have talked about this today! Or ever! She doesn't need to know this. She was so happy the entire morning, but I have ruined her good mood by bringing up something insignificant. I'm stupid! 

Arthur chided himself and made her look at him holding her chin. He placed a kiss on her lips seeing her eyes clouded.

"Don't think anything weird, Iris. It would break my heart," he hugged her close. Talia could now hear his heart beat racing.

Is he anxious?
