““Oh,my gosh! You're even prettier than Finn said you were!" "Ember!" Annali snapped when it appeared that Ember wouldn't stop. I blushed and looked away, unsure of how to respond to her. I understood in theory why it might be exciting to meet a Princess, but I couldn't see anything exciting about meeting me. "Sorry," Ember apologized, but it didn't dampen her delight at all. "I've been begging Finn to let me meet you, and he-" "Ember, you need to do your schoolwork." Annali wouldn't look at either of us. "I came out because I didn't understand it." Ember pointed to her textbook.””
