Once, when nobody was looking, Gilbert took from his desk a little pink candy heart with a gold motto on it, 'You are sweet', and slipped it under the curve of Anne's arm.

Imagine...

🌸Imagine being a princess who falls in love with a man as handsome as Paul Newman

🌸Imagine dressing in a pale pink Dior dress and satin heels for a party at the Ritz in London's 1950s

🌸And lovely Paul never being able to take his eyes off you and you only having eyes for him as well (others giving up on you disappointedly)

🌸Newspaper headline: 'Charming American falls for beautiful princess'

🌸Imagine dancing with him through the night until you can't feel your feet any longer

🌸Knowing instantly that this is the guy you want to marry

🌸Which you do short after in a little romantic village church in spring

🌸Imagine driving home with him in a cabriolet under the falling blossoms of the cherry tree avenue his arm around you keeping you close

🌸Waking up to the sight of his blue eyes each and every morning

🌸And imagine your children running around the house you live in (like Manderley but less frightening)

🌸And forever and always having him look at you like that, with this smile, when you first met at the Ritz, when you fell in love...

The sunset over the fairy wood or a book she had just noticed in the library would absorb her completely so that whatever she had been doing was forgotten.
