Chapter Five: A Real Garden
Black Pearl"Do you have anyone in mind to bride, since you're so against arranged marriages?" I play with my fingers and ask to try to keep the conversation as continuous as I possibly can.
"Yes. I do, actually. I have been eyeing her for some time now, not too long, maybe around a week?" He smiles at me.
I think about who it could be, and realize we don't have any mutual friends, "Who is it? It would be really nice if it was me." I bite my lower lip.
"It is, though," He chuckles. "Isn't that a little mean, though, if I steal away my older brother's bride-to-be?" He pretends to think aloud.
