"why didn't you simply leave? You shouldn't come with me to the cave. " A weight settled on Ella's chest as he repeated the inquiry.

Spenser laughed cruelly, and Ella had no clue why. But, my gosh! When he scoffingly moved his lips, her heart stopped. Seeing him grin was endearing and left Ella curious about his own smile.
The only sound that could be heard was the clink of silverware against ceramic. She was worried that the King was thinking poorly of her because of his silence.
