The Princess and the Carpenter

by Symphonic Fantasia

They weren't so different from one another although others may not think so. Just because she was a "princess" didn't mean that the carpenter didn't belong with her. It just took a bit of chiseling to see who they really were deep down. And even then, they would only show those halves to one another.

14. Act

Kurt ran a hand down his face as he walked the path to the villa. If he didn't show up, Gina would pester him until he finally did. Gina wasn't the only that seemed bothered by his sudden distance. Even those at the shop and café had become worried. It wouldn't surprise him if the entire valley knew about it. They all knew it was time for him to fix it.

At the villa doors, he poised his hand to knock.

He would have.

He was going to.

Then he decided against it.

Kurt wasn't at fault here. He wanted to comfort Dia and she threw things at him to get him to leave. Why should he be the first one to act? She could do it herself. So he left.

As for Dia, she had seen Kurt come up to the villa... and hid away, hoping he would leave.
