Chapter 22

Joseph cooks breakfast for both of us. I clean the dishes, afterwords, and take note that we need more water. Joseph sneaks up behind me and grabbing me around the waist.

"Are you ready for your surprise?"

I turn and smile. I can’t believe that I’m getting married and to a Prince at that. I know that he won't take the throne but it feels sort of like being in my own personal fairy tale.

"Grab some clothes. We are going to the pond first. I'll grab the horses."

We go our separate ways to collect all our stuff. I’m done first, so I help him with the horses. Excitement courses through me. I have no idea what his surprise is for me and my anticipation is building. I wash my clothes first. Joseph surprises me, while I am lost in thoughts, when he joins me in the water.
