He was worried, ecstatic and confused all at the same time! What emotion did they come together to create? Super confusion? Hm.
He couldn't see her face, but he was sure she was mortified about something, though he wasn't too sure why. It wasn't her fault she'd seen a pink princess and thought she'd kidnapped him, he HAD taken a while to get there and was now kicking himself for it.
"Are you okay?"
His wonderful voice came from her elbow and she groaned. Just what she needed. Nell peeked at him through the fall of her hair and flushed crimson all over again. He didn't look smug or like he was in the presence of a crazy person. Did a crazy person actually know they were crazy? She didn't know.
Nell sighed and pushed back her fall of hair so that he could see her face.
"I'm fine. Just humiliated and mortified." She laughed at herself. Everything she had said had been the truth (with the exception of the princess bit) but it was still hard to face him. She had said something that she hadn't even been able to admit to herself just yet.
