She turned in her seat to look at me. “He says he wants to take you back to the court so they can crown you queen. Isn’t he the competitor for that crown?”

Specialist Gregorio turned back to me. “The prince says that now that you’re with child, he’ll concede the throne, because it’s best for the kingdom.” She didn’t even try to keep her disbelief out of her voice.
“Tell him that I appreciate the offer, but I am returning to Los Angeles.”MoreLess
