The two dragons had growled at each other until the smaller one slunk off into the cave. Then the larger leaned its head down so close to her that Miriam thought her heart would stop.
But then it said, "Don't worry, dear. My son is too young to be taking princesses yet."
"Princess? But I'm not..."
"It doesn't matter. Home you go tomorrow."
