"W-What...?" She asked, stunned. She quickly sat up, shaking her head. "I'm not lying...!"

Luana's face dropped instantly and her gaze darted away from him and towards the waves. What was she supposed to say? She knew she didn't love him, she knew it wasnt possible for her to love him. She just wanted a perfect marriage. She didnt want to let him or her country down, but it seemed to be inevitable. She let out a heavy sigh and stood, beginning to walk back to the castle as the moonlight made her pale skin shimmer.

He sighed softly and let her walk away. He had pushed too hard too quickly. He knew that. She needed space. He would clean up their mini-picnic and head back to the castle nearly an hour later.

Luana wasnt in their bedroom. Instead, she was sitting in the study, a glass of whiskey in front of her as she stared blankly at nothing.

When Ambrose saw that Luana wasn't in the bedroom, he sighed softly and decided to wait for her in bed.

Luana wandered in an hour later, the smell of liquor on her breath as she was lightly tipsy. "Ambrose...? Are you awake?"

He sat up tiredly. "Yeah... I was waiting for you... are you okay?"

"I'm perfectly fine." She said as she stripped all of her clothing off, stumbling a bit before laying next to him. "Are you okay?"

He nodded and reached out to steady her gently. "Why wouldn't I be?"

"Because I fucked up. I said something untrue." She curled up on the bed facing him, closing her eyes. "I didnt mean to..."

"Luana.... it's okay," he said simply, smiling to her. "Don't worry about it, okay?"

"Easy for you to say..." She whispered, moving her hand to his. She drifted off to sleep a few minutes later, the blankets wrapped around her bare body lazily.

He sighed and wrapped his arms around her, then also drifted off to sleep.

She woke up well before him in the morning, hurrying downstairs to have an early breakfast followed by a couple glasses of wine.

He woke up alone and tiredly got out of bed, saddened by the fact that Luana had left him behind. He kicked himself internally over and over for saying those words to her the night before. He never should have. She didn't want that from him. She just wanted a husband, not a lover. He should have kept his big fat mouth shut and enjoyed what they had.

Luana sat by the large windows in the main room as she poured herself another glass of wine, watching the waves slowly move. After about a half hour, the butler came over to her and bowed. "Mr. Morris is here with the horse you requested, Your Highness."
Luana sighed, setting her glass. "Oh, I forgot all about that... Tell him I'll be right with him."
The butler nodded and walked away.

Ambrose wandered downstairs to look for Luana and finally found her when she was halfway done with her next glass of wine. "Good morning... are you feeling okay..?"

"As okay as I can." She looked up to him. "The horse is here, if you're still interested in riding."

He nodded gently. "Of course I am, but are you up to that today..? We can wait until tomorrow."

"Its too late now. Mr. Morris is here, I cant very well turn him away after he traveled to come here." She stood, downing the rest of her wine. "Remember? What I want doesnt count or matter."

"Hush now, let's go meet the horse." She took his hand and led him out the front door, where a middle aged man was waiting. "Good morning, Mr. Morris. Thank you for bringing him."
"Of course. I know how much you love them."

Ambrose stepped outside just behind her, staying quiet.

Luana reached out steadily and pet the young horse on the nose, a genuine smile coming to her face. "We're going to introduce you to a new rider today." She looked to Ambrose. "Go on, then. Introduce yourself."

He shyly stepped forward towards the horse, then reached out to touch its nose tentatively.

The horse allowed him to touch his nose, nudging his hand. Luana smiled. "They are gentle beasts."

"He's a very well behaved young stallion. Usually they're a little rowdy." She giggled. "Let's take him to the beach and ride him."
