Walled Garden

Like you're in some different world. Don't you think?

Catherine asked dreamily, as she continued to twist a small flower in her hands.

I cannot be more happier, then to see my dear friend so in love and happy. I hope he knows what kind of jewelry he has.

"I don't know how to describe it. Everything seems to me such beautiful."

She took a breath and began to dream with open eyes. No one would believe that love will change her life.

"Thank you, my dear. I remember when you told me about your love. Now I know how you feel. Both our men must know what treasures they have. I hope that Walter and Thomas knows it."

You're absolutely right! Everything does look more beautiful.

She said, then laughed happily. This was such a lovely idea and being with her friend, spending more time with Anne was the best thing, and she wished to not be anywhere else, then here, enjoying in this carefree moment.

I truly hope they do. If they don't know then they are fools.

She winked and giggled softly.

Anne laughed heartily. Catherine was such a great companion. Anne felt with her so good.

"So I hope that we aren't in love with fools. It wouldn't be too beautiful and romantic. But I'm sure that we've found the best men who love us and appreciate us."

She laughed again and took a sip of wine.

Catherine laughter filled the garden at Anne's words.

I hope we're not. It'd be really tragic... I'm sure they do, if not then they wouldn't be with us.

She said, taking one more sip from her goblet.

Anne laughed too.

"You're right. But we're lucky."

She winked at Catherine and smiled.

Indeed we're.

She said with smile, raising her glass to her, then took a sip.

Do you think we'd ever go back at court?

She asked suddenly.

Anne took a sip of wine and licked her lips. The wine was sweet. Catherine's question about the court very surprised her and she didn't know what to say.

"I don't know. Maybe yes, maybe not. It would be nice to be back. Sometimes I miss royal court."

Catherine sighed, she wanted to be at court so much, not because parties or anything like it, just because Thomas. She wanted to be next to him.

I wish we can. It'd be so nice to go back at court.

Anne smiled. She knew this feeling very well. Kimbolton Castle was a beautiful place, but Whitehall was better. She sighed as Catherine.

"You're right. Maybe we'll be able to go back. I don't know why, but sometimes I think that I should stay in Whitehall."

She gave Anne knowing look, knowing she felt the same way as she. Truth be told Catherine liked Kimbolton Castle. It was peaceful and lovely around here, but still she missed court.

Honestly I miss court and being with Thomas. Even if I grown to love this place as my home.

Elena had not seen Elizabeth since she spoke of her love for the poet Thomas Wyatt. Daydreaming Elena went outside her thoughts amongst the clouds. As she looked down she saw Elizabeth lost in a world of her own to peaceful to disturb. Picking up an acorn Elizabeth gently threw it in her direction and waved.

"Oh, you are here! I am so glad to see you, Elena!" said Elizabeth surprised and put her book on the bench. "It's a long time we haven't met."

Elena sat next to Elizabeth wide eyed and bushy tailed.

Yes I have missed your company a lot. Tell me did you get to catch up with your Thomas.

Elena asked hopefully. Thomas was the only link into court gossip and Elena wanted to keep the queen updated.

"Well, to be honest, I haven't seen him in a while. He is busy writting poems... But we get on really well. Oh, I miss him so much... I wish I could see him more often than I do..." said Elizabeth and looked down.

"I hope so, but you know...there are some rumours. About Thomas and the queen, he used to love her. He told me that he has no more feelings towards her. But I don't know, I still worry." said Elizabeth and looked down

"I know, but still I worry. Don't get me wrong. I know the new queen is an honourable woman, but I do not like the way he treats her. People say that he looks at her like she's the only woman in the world" said Elizabeth worried.
