Royce has been trying to have fun now that we’ve left our room, but he’s failing miserably.

First we walked through this cool, modern water-squirting maze that was located by the entrance of the castle. The whole thing is wide open, and every time you went on a wrong turn, water would squirt out. Luckily, you could jump back before getting too wet.

After that he humored me, because I asked if I could walk around the entire castle because I wanted to look at it from all sides before it got dark. Halfway around, I realized I’d made the wrong request because from the look on his face I can tell that in his mind this activity has us too exposed.

Instead of admiring the amazing, castley-castle details of this place, he’s been staring into windows for people who might be looking out at us.

(For the record, there’s been no one.)

When not staring at windows, he’s been whipping his head back and forth like a psycho to check behind us in case someone was watching, waiting in shadows or approaching.

(Again, thankfully, there’s been absolutely no one.)

Finally, I gave up my idea of seeing the whole building and dragged Mr. Stress-freak-out across the grass, following the signs that led to the entrance of the maze. It’s not until we’ve been inside the massive, coolest-maze-ever for about fifteen minutes (and not until we still haven’t seen or heard anyone at all) that he seems to have finally relaxed.

He’s started to smile, and to look around—actually look at the maze, and on the last few twists and turns, I’ve even caught him uttering the words, “Cool.” And, “So very cool to be in here,” a few times.

We both pause next to one of the spots where we have to choose if we’re going right or going left. Instead of choosing, he reaches into the maze, pushing back branches and looking up into how it’s growing into the next section while saying, “That modern maze with the squirting water out there doesn’t count as a maze at all compared to this awesomeness.”

He pulls his head back out, grinning at me while gathering up the small leaves that have stuck to his hair and his vintage shirt. “This Yew, or heck it’s got to be so many Yew trees, right? It’s got to be as old as the castle. Super impressive, because it’s not easy to keep Yew trees alive for that long. Pretty sure there is no cooler tree.” He blinks, eyes going over my face. “You know?”

When I only blink at him in return because I don’t have anything to say, he tilts his head and asks, “Are you just being happy again and that’s why you’re all quiet all of a sudden? Or…you’re pissed at me because you disagree about old Yew trees? Maybe you’re having a maze allergy attack, or…what?”

“I’m happy, but…” I answer, laughing a little at his last guess, but I’m still avoiding his gaze while trying to shrug off the insecurity that comes over me at times like this.
