The Hidden Princess At All-Boys Alpha Academy
“Would you like to try this, Marigold?”
Marigold nods once, solid, and Ella spoons out a small portion in a little white bowl, blowing on it before placing it in front of the little girl.
Marigold reaches for it with her fingers but Jackson’s hand flashes out, covering hers. “It’s very hot, Marigold,” he murmurs, reaching for a small spoon with a little cartoon duck drawn on the handle. “Use this.”
He hands it to her and Marigold takes the spoon, looking at it dubiously. But then she sighs, and clumsily begins to scoop up the noodles, blowing on them before bringing them to her mouth.
