I kept reading the letter over and over again but the words never changed. It was the same words even after an hour. My hand followed the handwriting that was so familiar to me. Maxon's. I couldn't feel anything. Not a single feeling. Was he serious? It wasn't a little thing to write in a letter. When I got the letter from my maid Lusy I has sent ger away so I could read it alone. I has been so sure that it would say that I had to go home. For the past fem days the king har seemed even more angry and irretated at me than usually and it didn't help that he had found out that I knowed about Maxon's scars on the back yesterday. That information could destroy him but I wouldn't use it against him if Maxon didn't told me so, but of course he didn't know that.
A knock on my door whoke me up from my thoughts. I jumped and feeled my heart beat faster. What if the king had found out about this letter? Everyone should be on the dinner at this time except me that had asked to get it delivered to my room insted. But I walked over to the door and opened it. Outside my old friend Aspen stod. He didn't smile like he used to and I felt nervous.
"He said that he would like to se you where you two first met." Aspen wispered. My first thought bringed a memory of all the other girls but then I remembered that I had met him in secret the night before and we had talked sitting on a bench. I quickle nodded and stuck my arm into Aspens. It wasn't that late, only about nine pm, but it was winter and dark outside. I understod that it was a secret that must be kept between Aspen, Maxon and me. We wheren't allowed to go out at this time and especially without many guards. So we snuck down to the first floor without anyone noticed with the help of the emergency tunnels and rooms. Well there Aspen went to talk with the guards so I hopefully could sneakers out. When i opened the door to the dark garden I ran around the corner to the bench hoping no one noticed. I was by myself and now the cold air hit me and I starten to freeze since I hadn't thought of a jacket at that time. So I was sitting there for a few minuts, blaming myself becouse I'm a idiot that didn't thought of warm clothes and heard a sound and then a voice.
"America! I'm sorry you had to wait, dear."
I turned around and saw him walking towards me in a suit and a jacket.
"Maxon! Did you wrote that letter?" I couldn't wait any longer. He smiled at my question.
"Yes, have you read it?" It was a stupid question but I nodded happy knowing that it wasn't a joke. I would have been dissapointed if it was I realised.
"So then I ask you" his voice was soft and he took my hand and went down on a knee. "Will you marry me?"
