“It was my pleasure.” He responded with a courteous bow.
Soon their little company had formed back.
“Shall we take that walk now?” Lord Rockgonie said impatiently.
The three exited the party and found a path that Kenneth knew would be there. Elsa followed behind them, at a respectable distance.
“This will lead us to the garden. It’s a lot quieter there,” he remarked, causing Lord Rockgonie to smirk.
“And you know this how?” Rose asked.
“Inspiration. Let’s proceed, shall we?” Kenneth responded, causing Lord Rockgonie to laugh.
They walked the path in silence till they arrived at the garden. They found a bench and sat on it. Elsa simply walked to the end of the garden and stood.
“So, here we stand. Or sit, rather.” Lord Rockgonie said, causing everyone to chuckle. “What are we going to do?”
“Well, to be honest, I do not know,” Kenneth remarked.
“Lord Walsrock mentioned eloping together,” Rose said to Lord Rockgonie.
“Well, if you go ahead, that would free me up. That would be incredibly selfish of me if I let you go through with it, though. Plus, your reputations would be damaged. And we are trying to come up with a solution where our reputations are still intact,” Lord Rockgonie commented.
“I suggest we go back to the party before our absence is noticed. We can continue pondering on the matter and find a way to meet again if we have to,” Kenneth said.
“I concur. Lady Christie will most likely be looking for you already,” Rose said as she rolled her eyes, causing both gentlemen to laugh.
They all stood up and began making their way to the party. As they walked, Kenneth suddenly stopped and pulled on Rose’s hand as Lord Rockgonie walked on ahead.
“What is the…” Rose began saying before his lips connected with hers, silencing her words in her mouth.
Like the first time, this kiss was as soft as it was sensual. It didn’t last as long, though, seeing as they were pressed to return back to the party.
“I have looked forward to doing that all week,” he whispered into her mouth when their lips finally parted.
“I have, too,” she whispered right back.
He kissed her forehead as her eyes closed shut.
“I love you,” he whispered.
There was a brief pause before Rose responded.
“I love you, too, Kenneth.”
“I promise you, we shall find a way to be together,” he said.
“Can we get back to the party now?” Noah said, from where he was in front of them.
Kenneth released her as they began walking to catch up to Lord Rockgonie.
“Oh and by the way, if anyone had seen you, I would have been forced to punch you in the face. You can’t be kissing my betrothed in public,” Lord Rockgonie joked, causing all of them to laugh as they walked on.
