Abigail jumpsed up and looked straight at Luke. Luke's face had a never ending smile and Abigail was speechless. "Well, I thought you'd be happier to see me." Luke said in disappointment. "I am, it's just..." "You havn't seen me in awhile? So your shocked but happy, works for me." Luke goes to kiss Abigail, she backs away from him. "A lot has changed since you've been here." She said look at her feet. "So I've heard. Your Father passed, you must of been devistated, I'm sorry." He tries to hold her and she backs away from his once again, this time more forceful. "And if it wasn't for you I would have talked to him before he passed." "Abigail..." He reaches for her. "No! It's your fault I put stress on my Father's heart! You might as well of killed him with a dagger! Either way it's your fault!" "Abigail!" He cried out as she ran away with tears running down her face. Luke didn't know what to do. He still loved her very much and didn't want to hurt her in anyway. He feared that no matter what he did she would always be hurt. Later that night Abigail was sitting in her chamber and thought about the days surprising arrival. Her Mother knocked on the door and slowly began to come in. Abigail wiped her tears away and faced her Mother. "Abigail, honey, are you alright? One of the servants said you were awefully upset today." "Yes, I'm fine Mother." "Are you positive?" "Yes of course, why would I be upset?" "I havn't got the slightest clue, except maybe the fact that they also saw you with another man." "oh, is that right?" "Yes" Theres silence. "Abigail, if you want to have an affair..." Abigail cuts her off. "You thin I was having an affair?! Mother I was laying there thinking of my husband and there out of no where appears Luke!" "Luke?" "Yes Luke!" Abigail covers her head in her hands."I thought he was banished." "Well, since your father was the one who banished Luke, and you Father is dead, technically he's not banished anymore." "What do I tell Philip?" "Tell him nothing, you know how he gets." She kisses Abigail's forehead. "It's going to be alright, don't worry so much." "Don't worry so much?!" She pulls away and stands up. "Mother, before Father found us, Luke proposed to me and I accepted. For me to tell him that I am married ,and actually inlove with Philip, it would just kill him." She goes to the window. "Or tell Philip and Philip would want to kill Luke. Either way it would end up horribly." "So your just looking out for the one you love?" "Yes exactly." "That's very admirable to want to keep Luke safe." "Yes well I love him, I always-wait a minute, you tricked me!" "You can't fool a heart inlove my dear. Your still inlove with Luke, very understandable." She stands up and goes to Abigail. "But you have a husband and a country to rule soon, if your going to pull a scandal do it before your Queen." He Mother smiles and leaves the room. Abigail goes to her vanity and opens a drawer. Inside was a wooden box with a lock on it. She set it on the vanity and pulls a key out of her bossum, she unlocks the box and picks up a small peice of clothe. Abigail unfolds it and reveals the ring Luke gave her. She puts it on and sighs. Just then the door starts to open and Abigail hurried and put the box away. Philip enters half drunk of rum and smells of the tavern. "Why hello Abigail!" Philip slurrs. "Hello Philip." "I've had a hard day, mind rubbing my feet?" He jumps on the bed and kicks his shoes off. "I'll call in one of the maids." She stand up and walked passed the bed. Philip grabs her wrist. "I asked you to do it, not some dirty maid." She looks at him saying nothing. "Now you get down there and rub my feet," He pushes her down to the ground. "or I'll do what I did the other night. You remember what happened don't you?" Abigail shakes her head. "Do it now!" Abigail starts to rub his smelly feet. "Now that's much better." Philip said grinning. Abigail hated when Philip came home drunk. Everything he got drunk he would be forceful and demanding, but she couldn't refuse him. She loved him and knew there was a better side to him, if only she could get him to stop drinking, but how? Abigail had no friend and she couldn't talk about it to her Mother. As she rubbed his feet she tried to think of someone to talk to. "Luke" She thought. She was still inlove with him but this gave her a reason to talk to him. Also to tell him about her marriage. She would talk to Luke tomorrow about her marriage trouble, but where would she find him?
