Take My Hand - Part 1.

That night Elizabeth had had the most difficult time in trying to get herself to fall asleep. The word "insomnia" hit hard at her for the weirdest reasons which she could not ascertain what they were. Allowing herself to think deeper on it, she would not dare agree to the terms that her stay away from the King's bedroom that night was the root cause of her restlessness. But how so!? 

In truth, she concluded that she had only spent a half night in the King's exquisite bedroom during the previous night. Her reasons for classifying it as a half night spent in the King's company, was because of how she'd fooled herself into falling asleep flat on his bed right from the get-go. 

What reasonable maiden who is morally cautious would permit herself to be so carefree? Thinking so, Elizabeth was soon to fall asleep after allowing herself to reminisce about the partial memory of the wet and passionate kiss which she'd shared with Briceus the morning after.
