It was later that night and Piper was taking a walk in the garden the
breeze was blowing in her hair along with her dress, Piper loved the smell
of fresh flowers, she rested her wrists on top of her head and let the wind
blow right through her as she closed her eyes. What Piper didn't know was
Leo was looking at her from his bedroom balcony
Leo came down to see her "It is beautiful night is it not?" Leo said behind her
Piper jumped and turned around to see Leo behind her "Leo what are you doing here?" she asked surprised and embarrassed.
"I came to see you?"
"But, you are not well."
"I am fine Piper. What were you looking at?" Leo asked
"Nothing I was just taking in the smell of fresh flowers and the feel of wind in my hair" Piper said as she blushed
"How do you to that?"
"Well you have to be in the moment. It gives you a feeling for freedom, like you the only person in the world."
"That must be a nice felling?"
"It is. Do you ever wish on stars?" Piper asked
"Piper that is things you tell kids. Like when you believed in the tooth fairy."
"If you believe it it is true." Piper said, she took Leo's hand the walked further down the garden. She found a spot when the night's sky was exposed and she lay on the grass as Leo watched her. She pulled Leo down with her as they both lay down looking at the night sky. "When you were sick I made a wish on my wishing star." Piper said she turn to Leo "My wish came true. When I was living at home I also wish that my baby sister would be well and that came true" Piper turned her head back to the night's sky "I just have one more wish left that I am waiting for"
"What is that?" Leo asked
Piper sat up, she looked back at Leo and smiled "If I tell you it will not come true" She said and got up. She was about to leave when Leo grabbed her hand and pulled her down, she landed on top on him.
"Where are you going?" He asked softly looking into her beautiful brown eyes.
Piper blushed looking away from him "I am going to bed." Piper said, she got up and left leaving Leo alone out in the garden.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
It was the next morning and Piper was up and dressed. It was breakfast time, she was entering the dinning room when she saw Leo was getting ready to go somewhere, what she didn't notice was Daniel was there too.
"Where are you going?" Piper asked Leo
"Piper, good morning. I have some business to attend, I will be back later tonight."
"But you are not well Leo."
"I am fine Piper."
"No, you are not. You are still weak from your accident. I am not letting you leave for the whole day." Piper protested
Leo smiled at Piper, she cared about him and it really touched his heart. "All right, if it will make you feel any better I will just go, visit some people and I will back in time for dinner."
"The afternoon." Piper said
"All right, I will be back in the afternoon."
"Good." Piper said and she then kissed him on the cheek.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
It was the after dinner and Piper was waiting for Leo's return. It was late but she understood it was business, he must have got held up. She was dusting the study for Leo until Daniel paid her a visited.
"So I see your my sister-in-law" Daniel said
Piper got a fright and quickly turned around "What are you doing here?"
"Well I just wanted to see my sister-in-law that is all."
"Well she does not want to see you!" Piper spat back at Daniel. Piper had her reasons for hating Daniel, after all what he had done to her.
Daniel grabbed Piper's arm "You will respect a royal lady!"
"Let me go! You are hurting me."
"You have quite a mouth lady." Daniel said right close up to her face. Piper could feel Daniel's breath again her cheek, he then looked at Piper up and down.
"I can see why my brother wanted you for himself." Daniel said as he held on to Piper arm tighter, he knew it was hurting her as the tears ran down her cheeks and this made him happy.
"Piper!" They heard Leo yell.
"Saved by your husband I guess." Daniel let go of Piper and walked out. Piper touched her arm and it hurt from the way Daniel had grabbed it.
"Here you are?" Leo said as he walked into the study. Piper ran straight into his arms and started to cry, she was crying from the pain and also because of Daniel the bastard.
"What is wrong?" Leo asked as he rubbed her back.
"Where were you? You said you would be back by the afternoon!" Piper cried
"I am sorry, I got held up."
Piper pulled away from him "No Leo, you can not do this to me. You can not make promises while I sit here and worry about you!"
"I am sorry Piper." Leo said
"I am going to bed!" Piper said, she threw the duster on his desk walked out of the room as Leo watched her
Leo looked back at the duster Piper threw on his desk. She was cleaning the study, he thought. If she was angry at him why would she clean up the study for him? Something was wrong here. He didn't know what, but he was going to find out.
Leo came down to see her "It is beautiful night is it not?" Leo said behind her
Piper jumped and turned around to see Leo behind her "Leo what are you doing here?" she asked surprised and embarrassed.
