An Apology Delivered

"You know what you have to do, Hugo." Achim said.

Hugo hung his head low, "I guess I had better go and apologize to Layla, huh?" he sighed.

"Now that would be a good idea." Achim said to Hugo.

"If I know that dreamer, and I do," Hugo said to Achim about Layla. "she is probably holed up in the library with a good book."

"At least Layla believes in her dreams." Achim said to Hugo.

"I know she does!" Hugo said to Achim.

"Then, go talk to her." Achim said.

A few minutes later, Hugo found Layla reading in the library.

"Layla," Hugo the Second requested. "I would like to talk to you, may I please have a moment of your time?"

"I have absolutely nothing to say to you!" Layla snapped at Hugo in a whisper.

"Just hear me out," Hugo said to Layla. "it's important."

"Okay, I'll bite," Layla said to Hugo. "what is it?"

Prince Hugo looked Princess Layla in the eye.

"I'm sorry for calling you a dreamer and a traitor, that was wrong of me," Prince Hugo said. "could you ever forgive me, Layla?"

Layla thought about Hugo's question for a moment.

"Of course I'll forgive you." Layla said in a whisper.

The clock began to chime.

"Uh-oh, Layla," Hugo whispered. "we will be late for class if we don't hurry!"

Hugo and Layla raced off for their first class for the afternoon.
