the two of us know about.'
We have a special place! Our place! All our own. And it's in a palace and it's full of roses! I looked up and saw butterflies playing beside us; fluttering their wings as if in courtship. The sentiments of the moment seemed to be reflected in the nature all around us.
'It's amazing! I love it. I love—' I broke off, scared of what I was in danger of revealing but Rufus kissed me again, giving me the courage to try. 'I mean . . . I think you should know I'm falling in love with you . . .'
'Good, because I feel exactly the same way.' He smiled. 'Only you should know what your getting yourself into, Kelly. My life is crazy. The press follow me most places. I have to guard my privacy where I can. I want to protect you from that craziness but once the press know we're together . . .' He paused. 'Once the press know we're together, life is going to get very difficult. Until you live through it, you have no idea how hard it is to cope with the constant intrusion.'
Rufus looked so serious all of a sudden, I was overcome with the need to lift him out of his solemn thoughtfulness.
'Whenever they upset us we'll come here,' I suggested, looking at the picture of beauty and solitude painted in the brightest colours all around us. 'We'll escape to the Rose Garden and hide in the bushes like squirrels and no one will find us.'
'That's a lovely thought,' Rufus said, flashing me that incredible smile of his and speaking with such love and warmth. 'From now on, this is our rose garden, our refuge. The place we first declared our love to one another and somewhere we'll always come when things get tough.'
I breathed deeply. 'We'll never, ever tell anyone about our rose garden, Rufus; it's just for us . . . our special place. I'll never breathe a word to anyone about it, then no one will know.'
I smiled then, feeling lost and dizzy in the thrill of the moment.
