Julia Golding Quote

Tashi, look at me.I am.But I can't see you through that veil.Then you'll just have to trust me.Ramil smiled. I wanted to give you the flower just as a boy would give a girl a present--not because you are a princess, or an ally, or for any of those reasons. It came with no conditions, no schemes, except perhaps the hope that you might like me just a little better.Then I accept it and thank you. Tashi felt a burst of happiness. She'd got it al wrong: he did like her.So what's next? asked Ramil, feeling very pleased with himself.How do you mean?What should a boy do now?On the Islands, you'd write a poem in praise of my eyebrow, Tashi said teasingly. Around here, you'd kiss me. She spurred her pony forward, leaving him wondering.
