It was midnight when I returned to my chamber, but not after sharing a kiss with Amarisa, thanking her for the wonderful outing.
The princess also expressed her desire to spend another day with me before the return of her royal parents. I had insisted that this time it was my turn to surprise her. I had thought of a romantic theme without revealing the details.
"We shall meet again tomorrow at the crack of dawn," I told her.
"Dawn still wouldn't come fast enough," Amarisa replied with a sweet smile. She leaned in to kiss me on my cheek again.
After it was settled, we parted way with the hope of seeing one another again tomorrow.
