I believe him. He wants me to be happy and he knows Abigail is key to that. So he’ll tell me if she tries to leave the island. “Thank you.”
“Get some sleep,” he says, slouching in the chair, seemingly getting more comfortable. “I have a feeling tomorrow is going to be a big day.”
Chapter 43
Abigail
Istill have no idea what I’m going to do.
Or more specifically, what I’m going to say.
I slept fitfully all night and woke up early. I’ve redone my hair three times. I’ve changed my clothes four times.
And I don’t know what to do.
Except go to the market today and find Torin.
He didn’t come to bed last night.
I assume he came back to the palace.
He has a lot of people looking out for him, so I know he’s safe.
But I don’t know how I feel about waking up without him. It feels wrong. And empty. And lonely. And I don’t want to do it anymore, ever again.
So I guess that means I need to figure out a way to tell my husband that I’m in love with him.
And accept the fact that once I do that, I’m officially on a world stage. Forever.
Sure, it might be a small world stage. But, knowing Torin, it will get bigger.
I press my hand against my stomach.
I really want to see him on that stage. He’ll be so, so good up there.
So that means, I need to figure out a way to stand beside him up there.
Because I’m not letting him go.
Just then my phone beeps with an incoming call. I frown when I see the number.
The king is calling me.
This day just got even weirder.
“Hello? Good morning, Your Majesty.”
“Abigail, will you please come to my office?”
“You’re…calling me for that,” I say stupidly.
“Yes. I figured that was faster. I could have texted, I suppose.”
The idea that the eighty-something-year-old king of Cara would text me about anything makes me smile. “This is fine. I’ll be right there.”
A few minutes later, I walk up to Emil’s desk. He rises and opens the king’s office door for me with nothing more than a quick bow.
I step across the threshold with a deep breath.
