She felt the most comfortable when she was lying in her bed, curled up under a blanket or two with a pillow underneath her, dreaming about an exciting life she lived only inside her head.

"Just my charming personality. But if it ever becomes a nightmare, tell me okay? I don't want to be causing you any trouble."
And she thought she'd fallen in love with her knight in shining armor.
