• She presses a kiss to my cheek and flutters back into Alyssa’s room, closing and locking the door behind her.
• I slink upstairs, dressed in a satin pajama set that didn’t get any airtime between my incredibly comfortable sheets last night. My hair slips out of the half-assed braid I sloppily pulled in place this morning. I hike the final staircase, ignoring the maids scurrying out of my way, and stalk toward the door to my suite and the large, lumbering knight in full armor and helmet casting a shadow across a length of royal red carpet.
