Without a Care

The girl woke up, the strange bed was soft and warm, she was comfortable enough to stay and had no reason to get up, no pressing duties to attend to, but the golden sunlight that fell across her from the open window was too inviting. With young limbs and a childlike grace, she leapt from the bed. She could hear birdsong and the bubbling sound of running water nearby. She gazed on the bright new dawn, not a cloud in the bluest of skies to spoil the view.

A boy burst in her room and she stared at his familiar face, there was the hint of memory or a dream she couldn’t pin down.

“Lilibet, you’re here!” his eyes sparkled with delight.

Without hesitation she took his offered hand, and when they touched she knew this was her forever home. 

He led her out to play in the King's garden, without a care.
