She remembered in the last ball they could only dance in private, on the terrace Ahh it's so good to dance with hiain, this ti with hiood too, and it was soleht, she wanted those 'sharks' or ladies who all set their eyes on the crown prince and wanted to snatch him away froh Mars didn't formally announce their relationshi+p

Normally, Emmelyn wouldn't really care about how other people see her She liked to be unassunancy hormones really made her feel easily irritated and insecure She needed to have thisof security back

She hated this feeling, but she couldn't help it Fortunately, Mars was very understanding and he accommodated her needs

Mars took her hand and they walked gracefully toward the center of the ballroo about love that bloo

Everyone seemed to freeze in their spot, all eyes on the beautiful couple Some people admired them, some felt envious, but none of theether

Emmelyn smiled and nodded She was happy too

Ahh those tears and annoyance that she felt earlier today now didn't seem relevant anymore They dance to the tune as their bodies adjusted to each other perfectly

"I love you," Mars had to hold back not to kiss her when the song ended Gosh how much he wanted to formalize their relationshi+p, so he could do whatever he wanted to her in public
