Edwin saw her emerge from the bathroom. She was truly radiant. Even though Edwin knew how beautiful she was without any of those accessories. He stared at her pretty form for a minute or two before coming back to reality. Edwin couldn't help but chuckle at her remark. "It may not be possible, but I can always dream, your highness, and also how many times must I remind you to call me Edwin, it's not proper." Edwin showed her a charming smile as his eyes met hers.
"But,..You look truly stunning, Alessandra." Edwin kept eye contact.
A certain sadness and longing was present in his stare. As if he were looking at something he would never be able to have no matter how much he wanted it. Edwin's eyes went back to finishing up making the bed.
His slender body bent across the bed, fixing the sheets and straighten the comforter. Although he was slim, he was strong.
Edwin used to pick Alice up by her waist and swing her around, as if she were flying.
But, alas Edwin hasn't done that in quite some time, although he would be perfectly capable of it.
There was also a time a few years ago when Alice had a nightmare. To calm her down Edwin kissed her cheek and held her, telling her stories to calm her down.
In fact, Edwin hadn't really touched her in an affectionate or loving way for awhile. Edwin had been trying to resist and keep himself at a safe distance. He had recently noticing himself wanting to kiss her soft pink lips, or caressing her gentle skin, but he tried to warrant them off as just manly impulses although he feared there were feelings attached to them, he dismissed it, trying not to think about it. "All done!" He nodded to himself, finishing cleaning up the room. "Are you ready to go down stairs Princess?" Edwin asked.
