Kel was out on the practice courts. Her glaive was spinning around so fast that you could barely see it. During the pattern dance, Kel was thinking about one person. Did he love her; she was not one of the court beauties that he always courted. She would rather wear breaches than a dress and practice with her glaive than flirt. She was not gorgeous and she was no lady, but she hoped that maybe he could love her. Kel finally stopped the pattern dance; she was sweating and she felt a hand on her shoulder. She spun around and her glaive was at the throat of the person. It was Dom. The one that she was thinking about.
"Are you trying to kill me," Dom said with that grin that always made Kel's heart melt.
"Well, I would have, but Raoul would have been sad for the loss of a very good sergeant," replied with a smile
" Yes, that is true. Would the Lady Knight like to accompany me to breakfast," Dom said while his eyes danced.
" Yes, I would be happy to accompany you, but I have to change my clothes first and I'll meet you in the mess."
Kel walked towards her room. Her heart was beating and her stomach was doing flip-flops. Maybe he does love me after all she thought.
