Elise glanced up from her book and rolled over onto her back so that she was only a few inches from the edge of her bed. "Sakura, why are you crying? You don't think I'm being that hard on my father, do you?" asked Elise as she began to stand up. She knelt next to her friend as she saw tears slid down Sakura's face.
Sakura shook her head. "No, elise. I have to leave behind the one man I love. I'm going to have to leave them all behind, and get married to someone I dont even know." She said, pouring her heart out onto her friend. "I dont want to leave him, but I know that I have to." She wiped her tears away quickly.
"This is a bit of a pickle isn't it? I think I have the answer to your question. If my father thinks I'm at school then I can be a decoy and marry this man until I "die" of a tragic accident. What do you think? It's just a wild fancy really but if you like it tell me," said Elise as she began to get up and walk toward the writing desk that stood in the middle of the room.
