IT STARTS AS A LITTLE FALL OF RAIN before turning into something unforgiving . drops of freezing water register unpleasantly against bare shoulders , leaving her to grit her teeth in an attempt to bear it . with a sigh , the princess straightens up to maintain her composure despite her now-soaked appearance â until the skies above her suddenly vanish under his cape . she blinks , cheeks reddening upon realizing this is the closest she has been to him . and yet by some miracle , her embarrassment is hardly enough to send her into one of her fits , for she sees past the chivalrous act . ( ephraim bears the brunt of this horrid weather , soaked to the bone .  )  â youâll catch your death of cold !  â and just like that , she slips out from underneath his cover . hands wrap around his arm to gently tug him forward , â ⊠it will not serve us to stand here like fools ! come , ephraim - we must hurry back to camp - ! goodness knows we could both make do with a cup of tea !   â Â
