"Uh... well... I" studdered Goodwin as he shifted his eyes awkwardly. He then looked straight at Arabelle and sighed. "The truth is I've always thought about you Arabelle. Ever since the first time I had dinner at the castle with you and your father when I was with Lucian. I... I feel like I want to be around you... protect you... I don't know..." he then looked away. "I guess that sounds dumb."

Arabelle sighed softly, that was exactly what she had wanted to hear and she knew that he meant it. "No, not dumb. Beautiful..."

Goodwin looked up at her and smiled. He reached out and grabbed Arabelle's hand. He held her close and carried her bag in the other hand. He walked with her to the Inn's entrance.

Arabelle sighed again and smiled, it was the first time she had felt happy and safe since her father had died. She placed his arm around her shoulders, wanting to be close to him..Her brain had not even registered the fact that she was outside of the castle grounds for the first time in her whole life.

Goodwin blushed a little with his arm around Arabelle, but he quickly regained his composure. He did his best to cover most of himself and Arabelle with his cloak as he appraoched the Inn keeper. "May we have a room please?" Goodwin asked. The Inn keeper got them a key and pointed them toward their room. Goodwin walke toward the room, Arabelle still within his arm.

They entered the room, and Arabelle realized something. She gently pulled away from him and faced to talk to him. "Ummm, is this allowed? I mean..Us being in the same room together?"

Goodwin blushed and looked about awkwardly. "I wondered that myself... but we really don't have the money for two rooms... It'll be ok, I can sleep on the floor... or outside, yeah, I sleep outside." he said trying to make Arabelle feel comfortable in this foreign place.

Arabelle shook her head fiercely. "No! Don't leave me! I've never slept in a room by myself in my entire life. There has always been someone there to watch over me. I need you here with me. I'm afraid!" She almost started to cry again, but held back her tears, not wanting to appear weak. You must not cry...You must not cry

Goodwin rushed over to Arabelle and grasped her in his arms. He held her close to him and patted her back again. "I won't leave then, okay?" he said reasuringly as he blushed faintly.

Arabelle smiled, she held him back, never wanting to let go. She felt very safe and comfortable in his arms. "Do you promise me that?"

She smiled again...She always seemed to smile around Goodwin. It felt nice to smile again.

Goodwin then pulled her back into an embrace and patted her back gently. "It's all going to be okay... understand?" he whispered gently into Arabelle's ear.

Goodwin smirked faintly at this coment. His eyes then widened as a thought poped into his head. This is Arabelle, the princess! he then quickly released her from his grip and walked to the other side of the room, his face beat red. I can't... I can't be doing this with the princess! he thought as he looked down at his feet awkwardly. I'm sorry." he said quietly.
