Prologue

Its a long walk to the gas station, she complains about the stones in her shoes and the heat and the dust.
Eventually he snaps at her.
"I can't believe that I want to marry someone like you!"
She stops dead in the road and stares at him. Her heart hammering in her chest. It's so loud she wonders if he can hear it.
"Was that a proposal?" she asks scared that he's going to take those words back.
He walks to the side of the road and picks a flower, a blue one with five petals and a yellow centre, she knows she is dreaming because everything is so clear. He looks at her and sinks slowly to one knee, Then she sees the Jewellery box he's pulled out of his pocket. She prays that the ring is lovely because she doesn't want that pinched look on her face when she sees something she doesn't like. She knows she's a princess and she can't help it. He opens the box and she sees the sapphire ring. She never wanted a sapphire ring but she looks at him and knows he chose it because it would go with her eyes. The ring sparkles in the beautiful sun and she falls in love with it and him all over again.
He looks deep into her sapphire eyes and hands her the blue flower with the five petals and holds out the box.
"No." he said. "This is... Nicole will you please marry me and make me the happiest man ever?"
She looks at him. Just looks at him because she is so happy she actually can't speak. She holds out her left hand and watches as he slides the ring onto her finger. It fits, she thought, he bought it so it fits. She twirls her finger slightly so that the sun catches the ring and it sparkles.
"Yes please." she answered simply.
Nicole wakes from the dream again, the smell of that summer day still lingering around the room. She turns her head to look at Geoff, he is smiling, oh, he's not actually in the room with her, it's just a picture, but tucked inside the frame is the pressed blue flower. She doesn't know the name of it, for all she knows it could just be a weed but she's determined to have some in her bouquet.
It's not easy being a princess she thinks climbing out of bed and taking a shower before getting dressed but she makes it look like it is as she walks downstairs in ridiculously high heels.
"Are you ready to go?" a voice asks. It is Ella, her stepmum.
"Yes." she replies, taking just long enough to sip some coffee. No breakfast today she is too excited.
"And tell me again why I have to be there?" Her dad asks grumpily, taking back his cup from Nicole.
"Because I'm shopping for my dream wedding dress and I need to know how it looks when you are walking me down the aisle." Nicole answers.
"And why do I have to go?" Miles calls from the lounge.
"Because I need you to stop Roman trying to escape after Nicole's tried on a few dresses and he's bored." Ella explains.
They pile out of the house.
Roman sulked.
Ella smiled.
Nicole put her favourite designers in order in her head so she would know which dresses to try on first.
Miles went to sleep in the back of the car and hoped that there would be some more coffee later.
