Chapter 694

• I was in my office, reading a dispute lodged between two neighboring farmers. Farmer A was complaining that Farmer B’s cow was eating the grass on his side of the fence, and thereby, literally, eating grass meant for his cows. I could feel a headache forming at the ridiculousness of the complaint. Somehow it had landed on my desk and that meant I had to sort it out amicably, even though I felt a slap upside the head would serve Farmer A right.
• I chuckled at that thought and set the file aside. This was something Duncan could sort out and I had no idea why he’d even left it for me. He was probably still pissed off with me because I refused to let this thing with Adelie go.
• ‘Princess Adelie is requesting a meeting,’ Carter said in my head, and I rubbed my temples with my fingers.
