1 week passed, then 2, and Angeli was beginning to believe Bard's words. She figured if Galadriel was going to make a bold move to get her, she would've already pulled something. And so Angeli began to relax. Maybe a bit too much. She hanging the clothes with Sigrid and Tilda outside when it all came crashing down. Perhaps in more ways then one.
"Angeli?" Tilda asked.
"Mmhup?" Angeli muttered with a clothes pin in her mouth.
"Do you like dad?"
Angeli almost dropped the clothes pin, and her face became so red, she had to turn away so the girls wouldn't notice.
"Well?" Tilda pressed.
"Of course I like your dad. I wouldn't live with him if I didn't," she replied carefully.
Tilda seemed to know she was hiding something.
"But do you like him more then a friend?" she demanded. "Do you love him?"
"Of course she doesn't love him!" Angeli was spared from answering by Sigrid. "Imagine how weird and silly that would be!" she continued.
Angeli felt relived that Sigrid had answered for her, but at the same time, she felt as though she had been hit by a brick wall when Sigrid had said how weird and silly it would be.
It isn't that silly, is it? she thought. My feelings for Bard can't be that weird, right?
"I should hope not!" a voice interrupted her thoughts.
Angeli felt her heart sink as she turned around and recognized who it was.
Galadriel had come.
Hi guys. Sorry this is a rather short chapter, I had dental work done yesterday (which was no walk in the park) and today my mouth hurt like hell. Here's a helpful tip; never get an extraction. Anyways, I should feel better in a few days, so the chapters should be better. Until next chapter- Mallowbloom
