Linnea: Where did you sneak out to last night? And why aren’t you in bed with me this morning?

Jonah: Abigail needed to go find Torin late last night so I went with her. He was down at the pub. And then I promised him I’d stay outside her room in case she decided to leave.

LEAVE?! What happened? Are they okay? Omg! I’m coming to find you! Torin and I have to be at the farmer’s market this morning!

Everything is perfect, Duchess. The princess has realized that the prince truly loves her. And I believe she’s realized she loves him too.

What?? Really????

Really.

So it’s all good? They’re good? WE ARE GOOD??

More than good. Torin declared his feelings for her from on top of a table in the pub to a huge crowd. Abi heard the whole thing. And she’s now been challenged to make a public declaration of her own at the market today.

Omg! Yes!!

You ready to tell the whole damned world we’re madly in love too?

So ready! I love you so much.

I love you too, Duchess. So fucking much.

EPISODE 822 TRANSCRIPT

Lindsey: Okay that was amazing. Who was at the farmers market yesterday? I want to hear from anyone who is an eyewitness!

Jen: I know! I’ve seen some video, but I’d love to hear from someone who was there. On the heels of the huge public declaration of love at the pub, this was something!

Lindsey: The pub was so great! Seeing Torin get up on that table and declare his love for Abigail was awesome. And yes,wedo take credit for getting Abigail to the market yesterday.

Jen: Darn right we do! We challenged her to come kiss her prince in the middle of the square anddang!She showed up!

Lindsey: I wanted to make it down there, but the crowd was huge. I have, however, watched Abigail and Torin’s speech five times!

Jen: And most importantly…the kiss! The first public kiss between the prince and princess!

Lindsey: I know! Not only did Abigail do an amazing job and win us all over in her first public appearance, but she is so clearly in love with Torin, and the kiss was absolutely perfect. So, you’re welcome, Cara!

Jen: I know!

Lindsey: Also importantly, we’ve had some people write in and tell us that Torin and his grandfather had a very nice discussion that was overheard by several bystanders. Diarmuid told Torin how proud he is of him, and apparently, they’re both preparing for Torin to take the throne within the next several months!

Jen: We’re all so happy about that!

Lindsey: And…

Jen: And what?
