Centuries ago,
With shaky hands, Zelda squatted to pick the scattered fruits.
'Marriage?' She was certain it did not involve her.
'He is about to get married to someone else and I had no idea? No!
What did that Prince mean by his words? There must be a mistake'
"I think I lost a shoe while I was running.
Do you mind helping me back to the garden?" Princess Tema asked Kamaz.
Kamaz ignored her and squatted after Zelda and began to help her pick the fruits.
Zelda refused to look up for fear of meeting his eyes. But as her hand went to the last fruit she could see, his also went to it.
She pulled her hand away like she had been scalded. A muscle ticked in Kamaz's jaw. His grip on the fruit, which was still on the ground, almost had it squashed.
He picked it up and placed it on the tray by her side.
Zelda's eyes finally went to his. She was also surprised by how fast she had withdrawn her hand.
