“Do you… remember why I refused to let you date boys and why your father and I sent you to an all-girls school?”

I crossed my ankles nervously, “Didn’t you tell me that it was because I am betrothed and you don’t want my heart to break by becoming attached to someone who isn’t my intended?”

My eyes widened and I pulled away from him in shock. Odette looked to be on the verge of laughter in the extreme. I took the half- empty wine glass out of her hands and almost drained it in one gulp.

Draco grasped my glass and pulled it out of my hands, “Be careful love, I don’t want to spend my wedding night with a unconscious bride.”

Sapphires sparkling in a lake of light could not compete with the beauty of his eyes. His grin was cocky and sarcastic but soft like paper. He was absolutely breathtaking. He could give Draco a run for his money any day.

A minute later, I hopped out of a fireplace in France. After several moments of no self-control, I stopped screaming and allowed Maman to cuddle me. In a sob I confessed why I had been feeling sick.
