Chapter 7
Poppy: Branch, we've been walking for an hour. Where are we going?
Branch: Don't worry, we're almost there.
Branch finally stopped & let go of her hand.
Branch: Alright, you can take it off now.
Poppy took off the blindfold revealing the most beautiful scenery she has ever seen in her life.
Poppy: Oh, this is beautiful!
Branch: *whispers: Just like you.*
Poppy: What?
Branch: Nothing!
Poppy: How could dad say that the world is dangerous when there's something like this?
Branch: What made him say the world is dangerous?
Poppy: He's been telling me that ever since I was little. I mostly think that he's just paranoid. He just doesn't understand me like my sister does.
Branch: Did you try sneaking out once?
Poppy: Yup, and got caught. My dad locked me in my room for three days. -sighs- Sometimes, I wish I wasn't a royal.
Branch: You just want to be yourself.
Poppy: At least, you understand me, too.
Branch & Poppy spent most of the time talking about random stuff. They really started to connect with one another, even though they just met. Poppy still had questions in her mind.
Poppy: *thinks: Have we really met before? Why do I feel like I know him, even though I just met him yesterday? Is it love at first sight? I don't know, but I feel like I've known him for so long.*
After spending a whole day looking at the scenery, Branch noticed that Poppy fell asleep. To him, he doesn't see a princess, he saw an angel who fell from heaven. He couldn't help but smile at how beautiful she looked when she's asleep. Noticing how late it's getting, Branch carried Poppy bridal style & walked back to his bunker. As he got the bunker, Branch placed Poppy in bed & tucked her in. He sat at his desk & started writing poems about her.
"Your eyes - they're like two pools so deep I fear that if I dive in, I might never come up for air.
And your smile - the sun itself turns jealous and refuses to come out from behind the clouds, knowing it cannot shine as bright..."
