man.
He leads me to a seat and offers me a menu that has clearly not come from this place. He even has a special chef come in to cook for me – this is insane.
It can’t be what he does for every girl, can it? I study the words carefully in front of me, trying to keep the happy tears inside. I’ve never felt so amazing in my entire life, and it’s almost overwhelming.
We order what we want to eat quickly, and then get back to the laughing and teasing banter that we’ve always had between us.
Not only does it not really feel like Edward is royalty, it also feels like we’ve known each other for years. He feels like someone who has always been in my life, which strips away any potential awkwardness before it even arises.
Once we’ve eaten, the very famous David Timlin enters the room, and he offers to take us around the museum.
As we walk through the exhibitions, I find myself learning things that I’ve never known before and it’s fascinating.
The fact that Edward has arranged this for me makes me feel like the most special person on the entire planet. It’s a date tailored just to me and what I like, which is made even better by the fact that we even get to view some exhibits that aren’t available to the public yet.
As I get to see things that no one else has, I feel that odd excitement that can only have come from sharing my odd hobby with someone who loves it just as much as I do.
“This is amazing,” I keep whispering to Edward, feeling increasingly grateful with every second that passes.
“Thank you so much. I’m having the best time.”
But the best part about this entire date is the fact that he seems to be enjoying as much as I do. I’ve never found a kindred spirit before and I really feel like I have in Edward. He’s like the male version of me, and that excites and amuses me in equal measures.
It’s just a shame that we come from opposite ends of the world – in terms of location and class. That makes it’s unlikely that anything could ever become of us, which is disappointing because I like him so much.
I can try and see us as a holiday romance of sorts to make it easier, but it’s difficult when my feelings run so strong. Already.
Oh God, am I in too deep?
By the time we have seen everything that the museum has to offer, my heart is racing and my mind is distracted by my feelings.
I already know that I’m going to end up with my heart broken if I keep spending time with Edward, and that is terrifying.
I should put an end to this now, call off this date and return to the hotel. Then tomorrow morning, I should move on to my next location as planned and carry on with my travels. Get out before everything is ruined.
Then Edward asks the question that changes everything.
“Would you like to come with me to see Harrington Hall? It’s one of the royal residences that I’ve been staying in, and I’d love to show you around?”
“Really?” My heart pounds wildly, my intrigue too much to say no.
“Are you sure?”
I’ve never even considered seeing a modern day royal home, and I can’t stop myself from really wanting to.
Stop it, I tell myself. Get out before you get hurt.
But I completely ignore myself and I find myself nodding anyway.
“That sounds lovely.”
“I just have to warn you,” he says, his expression has now turned serious.
“That my mum might be there. She did mention some work she had in this area of the world… but I’m sure it’s just to check up on me.”
He smiles weakly at me, but my mind races. His mum… does he mean the queen?
The queen of England? She might be there? I might have to meet her?
Oh my God!
“Err, yeah okay,” I nod, trying to look far more confident than I feel.
“Sounds great.”
So we step into the car, and we whiz back through the Cornish countryside. Only this time there’s no chatting or flirting. I’m silent, scared, and wondering what the hell I’m doing. What am I getting myself into?
We eventually
