"I'm in love with a mad man?"
Alice's POV
I dusted off my dress and walked around Underland I'm so happy I returned the first person I thought of was Tarrant I must go see Tarrant. So I ran as fast as I could to the tea table but all I saw was Thackary and Mally "Alice! Your back!" she said in her small voice "yes has either of you seen Hatter?" I asked "spoon..." muttered Thackary "why yes I have he's working at the white queens castle but he seems kind of sad lately" frowned Mally. Alice quickly ran to Marmoreal once she got there she burst threw the doors "oh Alice I'm glad to see you my champion!" smiled Mirana warmly "hello queen Mirana may I speak with the Hatter?" I asked. "Yes he's in the sewing room… he'll be ever so happy to see you my dear" she smiled at her I nodded and ran into the sewing room. "Tarrant!" I yelled he looked up from his sewing machine and smiled widely "I'd know that voice any where that's the sweet voice of my darling Alice!" he said cheerfully running over to me. He picked me up in his arms and swung me around "hello my sweetling! I have missed you terribly!" he said "I've missed you too" I smiled. Queen Mirana was standing in the door way "sorry for interrupting but I came to see how long you are staying?" she asked "I would very much like to stay forever" I said "then it shall be you can stay here in the castle if you like?" she offered "no Alice you should stay with me!" said Tarrant cheerfully "really? Are you sure?" I asked not wanting to impose "yes! I would love to have you live with me" he smiled his eyes turning bright Green oh how I do love those eyes….. I thought "alright then I shall stay with you" I blushed what would mother and Margret think…. Me living with a man…especially a mad man… oh well this feels right to do so I shall live with him….. I thought "very well then" smiled Mirana "if you will please excuse me" she smiled leaving. Tarrant grabbed my by the hand and I felt my cheeks turn bright red I didn't want him to let go "I'm all most done with my work once I'm done we can go home" he smiled sitting me on a near by bench I nodded and smiled watching him as he worked.
Tarrant's POV
I am so happy my Alice is going to be living with me! So I quickly finished up the remainder of my work and I quickly turned around "I'm finished!" I announced happily Alice stared and me curiously with her big lovely brown eyes "that was fast" she giggled "oh yes I sew very fast" I smiled admiring the work I've done not a stitch out of place. "Now shall we go?" I asked grabbing her hand and she nodded we said our goodbyes to the white queen and we got into one of the royal carriages she sent to take us home. I never let go of her hand even when we were seated she didn't seem to mind so I kept holding on. The carriage finally stopped in front of our house and I helped Alice out of the carriage. I rushed over to the front door and held it open for her "thank you" she blushed and stepped inside. "home sweet home" I muttered closing the door "your home is quite lovely" she smiled and I hugged her resting my forehead to hers "you mean our home" I whispered. She blushed then her stomach growled "perhaps we should have dinner?" I laughed pulling her into the kitchen and sitting her down "now what would you like my sweetling?" I asked "surprise me" she said, I nodded and started cooking. Once I was finished I placed a plate of food in front of her and a cup of tea. "Oh Tarrant it looks lovely" she complemented and started to eat the food I made "it all came from Thackary's garden "I smiled eating my salad. I started at Alice for a while what is this feeling I have... love…. Yes I do believe I'm in love with Alice! I thought. "Tarrant?" she asked I looked at her and smiled "yes my sweetling?" I asked "are you ok you were just staring off into the distance" she said concerned. "Oh yes I'm fine I was just admiring how beautiful you look today" I blushed. "Now let me show you to your room then". I smiled leading her down the hall way.
