Chapter 203
"Killian, if you’re planning to take me out in the woods to kill me, I would prefer if you do it inside the house. The weather will make me freeze to death before you can kill me. Can you please slow down?" Amelia requested as she wasn’t quick enough to move around like he was.
She wasn’t used to this cold air like he was and with each step she took it felt like her foot would freeze each time she lifted it.
"Your kingdom gets snow," Killian reminded her. There was no reason for her to be this bad at walking around in the snow.
"Once a year and it is not as bad as it is on this mountain. I will need to wear two coats when winter comes. There is already so much snow right here," Amelia said, looking around at the white clouds on the ground. "Help me," she held out her hand to him.
Killian didn’t move and continued to watch her try pulling her feet out of the snow after she stepped into a hole the snow was covering. "You can do it," he cheered her on.
Amelia glared at him for leaving her to struggle. She gathered a handful of snow, balled it up just as she would do when she was a child and threw it at Killian. It wasn’t satisfying to see him move his head to avoid being hit by it.
"You have a love for throwing things, don’t you? First your shoe and now the snow. Why didn’t Edith warn you that this part of the mountain has snow? Your shoes aren’t fitting for walking in snow or maybe they are?" Killian considered since he didn’t know much about women’s shoes. Perhaps they enjoy wearing shoes with a heel in the snow.
"I didn’t think we would be going around exploring. I thought we would stay inside, sit by a fire, and talk or something. Little did I know you were planning to torture me by walking around snowy woods. My coat isn’t keeping me warm enough. Look," she showed her trembling hands.
"You could have asked for us to go back," Killian said, finally coming to her side to help her.
