Vacation?

"But... You just said that you were going on your own." Cynthia was surprised by the prince and his sudden decision to take her to his own vacation.
"I've been meaning to invite you, but I never had the chance with Thomas always three steps away to interrupt my conversations and get in the way of plans." He smiled softly and looked her in the eyes. "I would really like you to go on vacation with me... Only if you would like, of course."
Cynthia thought about it quickly, worrying if it would be alright or not. Coming to her answer, she looked back into the princes eyes and nodded slightly. "Yes, I would love to come with you." She answered him but she was still unsure if it would be alright with the prince, but she still wanted to spend time with him.
"I'm glad to hear that, I thought you might have said no. I just thought that since we always seem to be followed by the media, and the paparazzi, you might be getting tired of being around me." Prince David replied, smiling wide. "But even so, if you're there, I know this will be a lovely vacation." Prince David put his hand over hers, his eyes shining.
"But if it gets out in the media that you were seen vacationing with me... What would we do then?"
"We could just forget about all this pretense and go public." Cynthia was shocked by that comment, knowing that there would be problems in the long run.
"We might need an action as bold as that to bring change. Both for this country and myself." Prince David mumbled to himself in a frail voice, his eyes growing slightly dark. He pulled away to look out the window once again. Cynthia watched him, watching the scenery go by quickly though his autumn brown eyes.
