Aurora sighed and leaned against Giovanni. "We had dances at court during Harvest Home. After the Lammas service."
"So did we. How we did dance."
A plume of sparks leapt up over the dancers, and shouts of glee followed.
"Your cousins were right about all the wonders a princess has. But one can lose all those and not gain those of a peasant who envies a princess."
