Meeting the future husband

Selena shook off the confusion and focused on the present. She didn't know this man and how he got on the property thus she was quite cautious. Alfie had returned and was running around at her feet urging her to continue the chase. She bent down to pick up her restless chinchilla and it obediently nestled in her arms watching the strange man with its beady eyes.

"I...I am Selena," she stammered, her voice barely above a whisper. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Sir Howard."

Howard's eyes sparkled with a mixture of curiosity and intrigue. "The pleasure is mine, Your Majesty," he replied, his voice carrying a hint of respect. "Allow me to apologise once again for our collision. I hope I haven't caused you any harm."
