Chapter 28. Dinner Date
Rifiuto: Non Miniera
Fae looked up from the book she was reading in the hotel room.
Two weeks had passed, and the royal family was returning to the Vinkus late tonight- early tomorrow morning.
Tonight, however, Fiyero was taking Elphaba to dinner.
Silent, Fae watched as Elphaba dressed. A couple of the maids, and a little two-year-old girl were helping. Finally, she turned, facing Fae.
"Well? Do you think he'll like it?"
Elphaba was dressed in a deep, deep royal purple halter. It came to her ankles, and Fae saw that she wore a pair of black heels. Her hair was done up in curls, and she held the necklace in her hand. Then, she knelt next to the child.
"Here Janseta, want to help me with this?" She asked, handing the necklace to the girl, and helping her clasp it around her neck. The girl smiled and hid.
"Who?"
"My......maid. Musetta gave her to me as a gift. A servant. No child deserves to be a servant. Yero and I treat her more like a daughter, than a servant. We love her like we'd love our own." Fae nodded.
"Well, I'd better get going. We won't be long. We're just going to dinner, and then we'll be back, don't leave without us." Elphaba said, going over to Fae and leaning down. Then, she did something she never thought she'd do.
She kissed Fae's forehead.
Before the girl could speak, Elphaba was out the door.
