I hate being in the young stages of a relationship, and already feeling like I am abandoning the lady in my life.
The other night I felt terrible. Nothing extremely special was happening with Claire and I. It just felt great to be in her presence, feel her skin just within the edge of my fingertips.
And then, the inevitable happened. An aide appeared at the door saying my mother requested to speak with me, and just like any other Dane, I obey the orders of the Queen, and had to leave Claire. I could tell she was saddened by this, and of course a little disappointed a well.
However, duties are duties and as much as I want to spend time with her, sometimes it just is not possible. Believe me, I would like this to change, very much.
This weekend if the lady is up for it, I would like to whisk her away. Anywhere. Anywhere but here, where duty constantly an issue, and a hurdle we constantly have to deal with.
