Clara
I blush and look down. Taking a deep breath, I look up and smile. "I don't know, I am kind of tired." I joke. I was really tired, but I was not going to refuse.
He held out his hand and pulled me up. He lead me to the center of the room and then left me there to turn the music on. Once the soft sound filled the room, he came back over to me. Putting his hand on my waist and the other in my hand, I lightly place mine on his shoulder. I let my nerves go way as we dance around the room. I lay my head on his shoulder. As I am about to close my eyes, I see Leo in the corner. He was a small kitten, something I have not seen in a long time. Leo as a kitten meant that I felt completely safe and happy.
My eyes were getting heavier and heavier. Cass pulled me closer to him and I allowed my eyes to close. Before I completely fell asleep, I whispered to him. "Thank you for the dance."

My eyes fluttered open and I was blinded by sunshine. I cover my eyes with a blanket and try to fall back asleep. The knock at the door did not allow me to do so. "Ms. Clara, it is time for breakfast." Emily, a lady in waiting, called.
I sat up and stretched my arms. "I am coming." I told her. As I walk to the closet, I brush my hair out with my fingers and braid it to the side. I slip on a light pink dress that hits the floor, slightly flowing out at the bottom.
Leo and I walked down the long hallway to the dining room with the long table. Everyone was already seated and talked among their selves. I sat down next to Casper. "Good morning." I told him.
"Good morning, did you sleep well?" He smirked.
I bite my lip and roll my eyes slightly. "The worst sleep I have ever had in my life." I tease.
He smiles and continues to eat. He is done before I am, so he gets up and takes my hand. He slips something in it as he brings my hand to his lips. My parents sigh as he leaves. I put my hand into my lap and look down at it. Clearly we did not do a lot of talking last night. Meet me in the garden.
I ate and walked into the garden. He was not there. "Cass?" I whisper. "Cass?"
He appeared from behind the walls of the big maze we have in the garden. "What made you guys want this?" He asked.
"My mother wanted it. She wanted flowers are fountains everywhere in it." I told him. "The middle has a huge fountain."
"Then we shall walk through it and find it as we talk." He said.
I smile, not telling him that I have been through it a hundred times. "Sounds lovely."
We begin to walk through, unseen by others. "So Miss Clara, tell me about yourself." He said, looked down at me as we walked.
"Well what do you want to know?" I asked him.
He thought for a moment. "Everything." He said.
I sigh as he leads me through the maze as if he knows where he his going. "Well, I am a very complex person so I don't know if we could get through it before sundown." I teased.
"Well, I have all day." He said. "So tell away."
I smirk. "Well, I am a pretty unpredictable person, not a big fan of routine. I am more of a spontaneous soul. I don't like to wear the big, expensive ball gowns. I am a really simple person to please." I tell him. "I really love people and I am good at talking to them. I love to see everyone smiling and having a great time. I don't want to hurt anyone. If I ever hurt someone, I will get overwhelmed and I will not be myself. If I am ever at a loss for words, you are either doing really good or you are a horrible person. I am a very decisive person so I don't like it when people make decisions for me." I told him. I was about to tell him about Eric and everything about him, but I did not want to. That was such a horrible part of the past and I want to move on. "What about you Cass? Tell me about you."
"Well what do you want to know?" He asks, mimicking me.
"Everything." I tell him.
