Livid Coffee’s POV-

I sat in the back of the ballroom and watched as all the couples dance to the music playing.  I sipped at my whisky and tried to feel happy for the couples, who had found the love of their life, but I am once again feeling lonely and that I could never find that one girl to take the loneliness away.

Nano Sound’s POV-

I walked into the ballroom feeling very insecure and shy. I hate coming to the royal balls, but my dear cousin was the King’s daughter and I couldn’t dishonor them by not going.  I tried to take a deep breath and calm my nerves; thankfully one of the servants saw me and offered me a glass of wine, which I took gratefully.  I skirted around the edge of the dance floor and sat at the back of the room, and, sipping on my wine, saw a young man sitting on the opposite side of the room.

Livid Coffee POV-

I look to my left and was surprised to see a beautiful young lady sitting on the opposite side of the room.  Her raven hair lay on her shoulders and she wore a red floral dress with a red rose in her hair.  I thought about asking her to dance, but then decided she must have a boyfriend or fiancé and I don’t want to be humiliated and dishonor my older brothers, AGAIN.  I look at the floor and downed more of my mostly gone glass of whisky.

Nano Sound’s POV-

‘Had he been staring at me?’ I shake my head at the thought and sigh sadly. ‘No one ever wanted to dance with me.’ I wasn’t pretty enough for them and I can’t really dance anyways.  I look back and was sad to see the blonde had gone from his spot. ‘It doesn’t matter he no doubt has a jealous lady who would embarrass me in front of everyone.’ I thought and was going to leave when I see him walking my way. I admire his long blonde hair and well-trimmed goatee and when our eyes meet I feel like I’m looking at the sky on a sunny day.

Livid Coffee’s POV-

When our eyes meet I feel drawn to her by her dark brown eyes and gentle smile.  I barely notice the dancing around me or the pounding of my chest as I stand shyly in front of the girl.
“Would you like to dance?” I ask then immediately regret saying anything and wish that I had never come to the dance.  She looks down at the floor, her checks red with embarrassment.
“I…don’t know how to dance,” she says.  
“Oh…” I feel like crawling under a rock and never coming out.

Nano Sound’s POV-

I feel like a fool. I should have said yes, but then he would have found out anyways and I probably would have stepped on his toes and really screwed things up.
“Well…would you like to step outside? The stars are very clear tonight,” he asks.  I look up and a smile crosses my face.
“That would be lovely,” I say.  His face brightens and he holds out his elbow for me and together we left the party and walk to the gardens.  The guards nod and greet us with “good evening” as we pass.  The garden was lit be a few torches, but the moon shone brightly and cast a silver glow on the grounds.  I’m wearing a thinner dress and the slight breeze makes me shiver.

Livid Coffee’s POV-

I notice her shivering and quickly take my long coat off and drape it over her shoulders. I was too hot in it anyways.  She looks up at me and says thank you in a shy little voice.  I smile and we continue to walk through the garden in silence.
“I’m Nano Sound,” she says and I recognize the name immediately.
“You’re the king’s niece?” I asks and kick myself again for saying something stupid.
“Yes, but you may call me Kim,” she says and I see her cheeks blush.  She looks at me and I feel like she wants me to say something, but I can’t think of what it might be.
“Well?” she asks.
“Well what?” I reply.
“What’s your name silly,” she grins.
“Oh, I’m sorry…it’s Livid Coffee, but you can call me Duncan,” I feel my cheeks start to heat up and she laughs.  It is a kind-hearted laugh and it sets me a little more at ease.

Nano Sound’s POV-

We sit for hours talking by the little pond in the garden and I feel better now than I ever have before.  I don’t know what it is about this man, but I feel drawn to him somehow.  My heart races as I see him inch a little close to me and I lean in a little bit more myself.

Livid Coffee’s POV-

I can feel her warm breath against me and I feel butterflies rise in my stomach.  I inhale her sweet scent and holding her head in one hand; I lean forward and close my eyes before our lips touch.

Nano Sound’s POV-

My breath catches as our lips meet and my body heats up as he pulls me closer. I hear loud clapping and cheering from the ballroom and I jump, making us break the kiss.  I look away, my cheeks a bright red.

Livid Coffee’s POV-

I feel her pull away and I look down at the water below and we sit there in silence for several minutes.
“We should probably head back in,” I manage to say.
“We don’t have to, it’s nice out here,” she says wrapping her arms around mine and leaning her head against my shoulder.  We sit in silence again and gaze up at the stars.
“It’s beautiful,” she says.
“Yes, beautiful,” I say looking at her face. “Beautiful.”
