Lucy was downcast the whole journey, looking as if she had just escaped from somewhere scary. Matthew saw the fear in her eyes and could not help but worry.

Up ahead, the road was clogged with traffic. Matthew stopped the car and reached out to take Lucy's hand in his.

"What's wrong? You seemed just fine at the palace earlier. Did something happen? Can you tell me about it?"

Lucy gazed out the window, shaking her head as if she were lost in thought.

Matthew started to feel a little upset. He did not like it when Lucy kept her worries to herself, especially around him. It made him feel like she had put up a wall that he could not get past to reach her heart.

He did not like that feeling at all.

"Lucy, remember what we promised? If anything bothers us, we're supposed to tell each other right away. We shouldn't have to worry alone."

Hearing Matthew's voice change, Lucy sounded pitiful and a bit whiny.

She quickly tried to comfort him, "Matthew, it's not what you think. I'm just really tired, that's all..."

However, Matthew knew better. He could tell she was not being honest, and his face showed his displeasure. "Lucy, you're not telling the truth." Matthew was like a detective when it came to tiny facial expressions. He could see right through her.

"There's this big Wine Festival in Charleston every year, and I'll probably go. It's kind of stressful."

However, it was more than just 'kind of'. The very thought of it made Lucy feel anxious and uncomfortable. Matthew did not understand the root of Lucy's worries. He just knew he did not like seeing her upset. "What's making you feel so stressed, Lucy?"

After a moment, Lucy replied, "I guess it's like suddenly shooting up into the sky and turning into a princess. It still feels a bit like I'm dreaming..."

Lucy felt like she was walking on air.

She was high above the clouds where the view was breathtakingly beautifų However, even with such beauty, she could not shake the fear that the cloud beneath her feet might vanish at any moment. Content belongs to

It was not always perfect up in the clouds. Sometimes, pesky flies would buzz around, ruining a perfectly good dream.

"Is that what's bothering you?"

"What else could it be..."

Matthew had been worried that Lucy was dealing with something really tough, something that was too hard to talk about or maybe even impossible to fix. He never guessed that his sweet wife could be so sensitive and easy to worry about. Content belongs to

"Lucy." Matthew's gentle hand touched Lucy's cheek, and he gave her a soft kiss.

Lucy tried to pull away without thinking, but Matthew's expression froze her in place.

Even after the kiss, Lucy's face was as red as a ripe tomato.

"Matthew... you're driving..."

It was not that she was not used to his sudden kisses. It was just that they were still in the car, and Matthew had not even taken his hands off the wheel, had he?

"We're stuck in traffic, what's there to worry about? And hey, you're my wife. What's wrong with a kiss?"

Lucy could not help but wonder

when Matthew had become so

bold? However, deep down, she was

more worried that their love might be just a fleeting dream. "Lucy, don't worry: I promise you, all of this is real. It's not a dream." Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
