Annica never spoke. Your friends never knew why, but it didn't matter. She was still the most beautiful woman your kingdom had ever seen.

Not that you agreed. She was your friend. Nothing more. In fact, you never had feelings for her.

But she did. And damn, was it obvious.

The way she'd stare. The way she'd make sure you were always clean. The way she'd touch you around other girls.

You were an idiot to not know.

And today, she's back at it. Trying her hardest to convey her feelings in some way, as you two walk to the market.
