The King's Queen
There, on the screen, is King Henry, gracing a charity event with his presence.
“He is so sexy,” Aunt Linda comments hungrily, her admiration evident.
Heat rushes to my cheeks as memories of our encounter flood my mind. “He is, and he’s awfully sweet,” I admit, unable to suppress a blush.
Aunt Linda's scrutinizing gaze falls on me, her suspicions evident. “Have you met him?” she probes, her curiosity piqued.
My heart skips a beat, and I stumble over my words. “Uh, he looks awfully sweet, is what I meant to say,” I stammer, attempting to deflect her inquiry.
