with Cecelia
There was no question in Beckett’s mind who he wanted to speak with first that morning. He had to know more about the girl who seemed like such a mystery. Even from seeing her photo when she was announced as one of the Selected, there was something intriguing about her, a sense of mystery to her that wasn’t quite the same in any of the other girls. Beckett couldn’t help but want to know more.
He couldn’t figure out what she was thinking as he led her into the other room to talk privately. He watched the way she looked around the room, as if she were studying it, determining for herself if it was worthy before sitting. He sat down next to her as she slightly covered herself further. She had chosen probably the boldest dress of all the girls for that morning, which also left less of her body to mystery. Though, you wouldn’t hear Beckett complain. He thought she looked beautiful with the way the dark fabric matched her dark hair, and only added to the air of mystery.
“Yes, that’s why out in the garden is one of my favorite places.” he admitted, agreeing that the palace gardens were beautiful. Though, the real reason the gardens, or really the particular part of the garden where they met the night before, was his favorite was because it held a lot of memories of his family. “I know we didn’t get to officially introduce ourselves last night, so I thought I would now. I’m Beckett,” he said, giving her a kind smile, and not using his official title. “and its a pleasure to meet you.”
