Chapter 1
Admittedly, I am a hopeless romantic. I believe in fairy tales and happy endings. I am a dreamer, an idealist. I know that there is a reason for everything. Even the biggest problems we experience. Many would call me naive. Maybe I am. Laugh at me if you must. But I believe I have my own fairy tale and my own happy ending. My name is Lumina, I am eighteen years old and this is my story.

My fingers danced across the piano. I was hunched over, concentrated on the rapidly changing progression and increasing speed. I knew this piece by heart. I've played it for more times than I can count. Once I finished, someone behind me applauded. I turned around and stood up. A man was leaning on the door frame. I didn't recognize him. He had brown hair and was pretty tall. He was wearing denim overalls, a white collared long sleeve underneath, white gloves, a red scarf, a blue cap and some hideous black work boots. Not a very fashionable choice of wardrobe if you ask me. But he is very handsome. "Can I help you with something sir?" I asked politely.
He raised an eyebrow "Sir?"
"I don't happen to know your name."
He pushed himself off the door frame and walked towards me. He held out a hand for me to shake. "Name's Jack, I'm the new farmer."
I shook his hand. "It's nice to meet you, Jack. I'm Lumina."
"You're a pretty good pianist, kid." he said.
I wasn't sure whether to be pleased or offended. Kid? Seriously? "Kid? I'm eighteen years old. That hardly qualifies as a kid."
The corner of his mouth quirked up as if he was amused by my outburst "Sure you are." he winked in the most infuriating manner.
"I-I'm sorry sir but I'm going to have to ask you to leave."
"Here we are with the sir business again. I told you, the name's Jack."
"Well then Jack, it was nice meeting you. But I want you to leave now." I pronounced his name with a noticeable emphasis.
He chuckled "You want me to leave?" I clearly heard the mockery in his voice. He smirked "Alright, alright. Your wish is my command, kid." he did a fake bow then turned around and sauntered out the door.
I frowned. Just who does that guy think he is? He thinks he could just waltz in here and offend me when I have been so courteous? I paced around the room. I will teach that guy a lesson. I swear to the goddess I will- My thoughts were interrupted by Sebastian who came out of his room.
"Did I hear you talking to someone just now?" he asked
"Oh, yeah, yeah. It was just the new farmer, Jack. He came to introduce himself."
"Ah yes, Jack. I met him this morning. He seems like a charming, young man, don't you think?"
Charming? That guy? I was about to ask the butler if we were talking about the same man. But I thought better of it and agreed with him instead. "Yes, he seems very... charismatic." I groaned inwardly. My voice came out strained.
But apparently, it was good enough to convince him. "Alright then." he motioned to close the door.
"Oh, um... Sebastian?" I called out before he could enter.
"Yes?"
"I think I'll go walk outside for a while. Please tell Grandma if she asks where I am."
"Alright. Take care, Miss Lumina. Be back before supper."
"I will!" And with that, I walked out the mansion.
