As Meggie and Doria entered the palace court yard they were greeted by Ivo and Despina, Minerva's children who led them to were Mo and Resa stood happened to be surrounded by strolling player, robbers, and grateful mothers. Meggie pushed toward the center were she promptly hugged her parents and her baby brother who in return hugged her.

"Meggie what have you been doing today? I haven't seen you since I saw you run out the door with Doria this morning. My, my how you love that boy." Resa inquired.

"Resa please stop not in front of everyone." Meggie replied abashed.

The crowd started laughing and whistling at Meggie and then it became extremely loud when Doria walked up beside her and he blushed pefusly.

"Meggie someone wants to see you." Doria informed Meggie who followed doria gaze to a bench near a corner of the court yard.

Meggie excused herself and walked hand in hand with Doria to greet Farid.

It had been a while since she had laid eyes on Farid. He hadn't changed much and still had the prettiest eyes she had ever seen.

"Hey Meggie." Farid greeted her shyly.

"Hey Farid. How have you been?" She greeted in return.

"I'm fine I've just been at Roxanne's farm and have traveled to a few places." The whole time Farid said this he was glancing down at Meggie and Doria's intertwined hands with jealous eyes.

Meggie didn't know what to say or do for that matter all she could think was that it was Farid's fault that she wasn't with him any more because the honest truth is that Meggie's heart felt love for Farid, But that love was love for a friend. Unlike Doria who made her heart work over time every time she saw him.

"That's nice. Well Doria and I are going to say happy birthday to Jocobo."

"I'll join you I have a present for him any way."

Meggie had a feeling that Farid wasn't going to leave them alone and that this would end very badly…
