“Don’t treat me like a helpless princess in a tower.” She folded her arms and looked off. I adjusted on the couch to lean over her, smiling as she sank away with worried eyes. I pulled myself closer to her, but she stopped backing away. The worry in her eyes was fading, and there was something else blossoming in them. I was close enough to kiss her, but I stopped short just to gaze at her. “This is my tower, and you are my princess.”
