I had dug the plants into the pockets of my apron and picked up a cup of water to drink.
"He is going to ask me to be his Luna."
I choked on the water.
The water hung in my throat as I coughed and coughed.
"Are you okay?" She asked leaving the dough and coming to my side.
I tapped on my chest while she assisted in patting my back.
I coughed and coughed until my throat and chest finally eased down.
"Heavens are you okay now?" She asked me.
I nodded while I motioned for her to hand me my cup of water.
She did and I was able to drink it down.
My eyes felt red from the excessive coughing.
Alice's words had almost sent me to my early grave before the Queen herself did.
Once I was sure I was okay, I cleared my throat and looked at her, my voice low so no one heard us.
"Did you say he was going to ask you to be his Luna?" I asked hoping that I had heard wrong.
She nodded. "Yes. But you can't tell anyone anything."
Oh goddess.
