But I wouldn’t hesitate to do it again, and again, and again to save that silver-haired girl.
“So, you just want someone to keep you company?” “Not someone. You.”
“It’s not the winning I find fun. It’s you, darling.”
“You’re right. That coat is far too itchy for a prince to wear.” Then his lips twitch into a smirk. “So, I’ll let you wear it instead.”
