”Is that how you greet all of your friends, princess?” Nate asked, he was sitting on the bed, his arms stretched out behind him, holding him up, ignoring Snow's question.

”Princess? So it was you who bought the flowers, and who said we were friends? Now, I am not going to ask you again, how and why are you in my room” Snow countered.

Nate only smiled, before answering.

”No, it wasn't me who bought you the flowers, but now I know what to get you if it ever comes to that point, and the people who work here was so kind enough to let me in.”
