âThereâs nothing wrong being upset sometimes, but if it makes you feel any better, I wonât mention our talk to anyone,â Adam just wanted to help the girl. She seemed so⊠lost and that was something he could understand. He couldnât imagine if he hadnât gotten the help he needed so long ago. âIt doesnât have to be dangerous to be frightening. Maybe it wouldnât be to others but you can scare yourself in those moments. I can promise you, Iâm searching for a way around this. I may not be able to do much to help, but anything I can try to figure out to help I have to try.â He gave her a warm smile when she answered his questions. âWell, Ruby Hood, itâs nice to meet you. Iâm King Adam, but Adam is fine,â he took her hand and shook it in a firm manner, a smile on his face. âMy wife would want me to say I like to read, but Iâm actually a fan of gardening. I leave those to her.â Adam couldnât help the smile continue to grow on his face. That always happened when thinking of his family. âWell, what is something youâve always wanted to try but never had a chance? Maybe itâs time to find something else to try.â
wise words were being soaked in by the girl whoâs eyes went wide. she really took so much appreciation to be around him that anything he could have said to her would amaze her. âplease. im usually much more bright than this... i promise.â not that he would know. ruby figured the king was so busy that a girl like her, no status what-so-ever was really anything of his business. âim definitely glad to hear that this is being looked over. i really would love to return home. i miss it there a lot and as nice as the palace is...well im so overwhelmed,â it would have been amazing to ruby, a real adventure if she didnât feel trapped. she tilted her head and smiled back at the man. âadam, okay then ruby is fine just for me as well.â she laughed a bit. it was so strange to imagine a man with adams story out enjoying a garden but then again he was so kind. she furrowed her brow. âi donât know... i never really thought of doing anything else. maybe... i would like to start doing more art? im not very good but i like to make a mess with paints.âÂ
