Rose Garden

Margaret smiled sweetly. "I am glad you have had time to have a little fun. What is your favorite past-time?"

giggles dancing and of course flirting

Margaret laughs. "I love dancing as well. As for flirting, I am too shy to start!"

we should find someone

Margaret smiles. "I think I have found someone. His name is Sir Henry Norris. He is new to His Majesty's household and is very handsome."

oh am so glad to hear that sweet cousin i wish i could meet someone. you must introduce us

Margaret nods. "I am very pleased. I will ask him if he wishes to meet you."

thank you madge perhaps he has a friend for me winks and laughs

Margaret laughs. "That would be wonderful if he does. I shall set a meeting up between the both of you. I think you will find he is an exceptional man!" She smiles.

Margaret smiles. "He is new to court and is a Groom of His Majesty's chambers. If he doesn't know you well enough he can be shy but that slowly melts away as he gets to know you. He hasn't made any unwanted gestures to me, which tells me he is very romantic and loving."

Margaret laughs. "I do, but I don't ever seeing anything of the sort happening in the future. Dearest cousin, I must go. I have something important to do."

thats alright dear cousin perhaps we can have dinner together one night

Margaret smiled and nodded. "I would love that!" She said, before departing Mary.

lost in my world unable to sleep i stroll through the rose garden which are now empty apart from there stems,

Margaret reached the garden at midnight. She breathed fresh air and tried to relax. When she saw Anthony, she stopped and curtsied "My lord...I accepted to see you privately, as you see. I...I allow you just few minutes. So...please, talk quickly. I'm listening you..." She said while raising her eyes to him. She hoped having pronounced those words with cold and firm voice. But she knew she hadn't. She sighed and looked at him

I saw Margaret arrive at the gardens looking ravishing. I smiled as I could not take my eyes off her. "Please there is no need to be proper here." I said as she curtsied. Her silhouette glowed in bright moonlight, I was very taken by her. "Why must you speak in such a harsh tone. Look around, your brother nobody is here to judge you. Its just us and the night sky." I said as I took a few steps closer to her and took her hand in mine.

Margaret looked at her hand in his and gulped. She shook slowly her head "It's not because of my brother, my lord. It's because of your boldness and stubbornness. What do you expect from me? You...you just want to bed me. I'm not stupid. But...you are a married man, and you'll never have me..." She said with vehemence, trying to control herself. She sighed "Or...do you find it more exciting now... since it's forbidden?" She asked whispering, looking into his eyes. She started breathing deeper

I tried not to laugh as she spoke so seriously. I had never seen speak with so much passion in her voice. "Indeed Margaret you are a very attractive woman however, I just wanted a moment to speak with you and tell you why I chose another woman over you." I said trying to make her understand I was a not the man I used to be.

Margaret took a deep breath, trying to calm down. She nodded slowly after his words and looked straight into her eyes "I don't think there is so much to explain, my lord. But...if you insist, I am here. I'm listening you..." She replied, wondering what was in his mind. The wind moved softly her blonde hairs and she kept on staring at him

I watched as a light breeze blew in her hair, she looked more beautiful than I remembered. I cleared my throat "Well you see...." I paused not really having an explanation on why I stopped pursuing her.

Margaret looked at him with surprised eyes as he stopped talking. She was wondering why "Yes? Go on..." She said curiously. The wind was still moving her hairs from her shoulders until her breasts. She took a step towards him and came closer

"We never know what the fates have in store for us. I did not choose to fall in love with Charlotte but I did." I explained as I looked at the expression on her face. "She's made me a changed man" I didn't want to mention that we had been banished. For I knew we would be back in time.
