As she reads of far away places she wonders at what the world has to offer her other than the life of slavery and obedience. She dreams of exotic lands filled with flowers and fruits. Of finding someone who will love her and take her away from here. To sail on the seas of vast openedness, to feel the breeze on her face. To taste foods and drinks that she’s never seen or heard of before. Oh but where would she go first. America, Europe, or just pick a place on the map. To dream is all she can do for now.

He stared at her through the trees. How she was able to sit so still and quite was a task he didn’t understand but he was captivated by her beauty as the sun glistened in her hair. Today was the day he asked her, today she took her rightful place as his fae queen.

Thanks so much to everyone for playing! I loved reading your answers! Mostly, you loved the solitude and the fact she was engrossed in a book, and wouldn’t that be a lovely setting to spend a day doing just that—minus the bugs and snakes… 🙂
