“Gone? She’s over at Ellie’s?” I ask.
“Nope. Back to Nebraska. She had an early flight.”
Leo starts down the porch steps. I glance at the front door of the house, then at his retreating back.
She’s gone? She told me last night she had to get back to work but…
Fuck.
She’s gone.
She had to catch a flight. Sure, I get that. But…we’re engaged.
Aren’t we?
Okay, she didn’t say ‘yes, I’ll marry you’, but she didn’t say no either.
Well, she said no, but then I talked her into it.
Didn’t I?
But no matter the status of our engagement, she left without a goodbye. She knew I was expecting to see her again. Just like both times she left Ellie’s “to get some air”.
I’m getting very tired of being left behind by Abigail Landry.
“You comin’?” Leo asks from the bottom of the porch steps.
“Uh, yeah.” I follow him across the road but my mind is not on grits and pancakes and bacon.
And there is something about me that Abigail needs to learn right now.
My “prince card” doesn’t just come with an obligation to be charming. It also makes me a very entitled asshole when I need to be.
Chapter 7
Wait ’Til I Tell Ye
EPISODE 741 TRANSCRIPT
Lindsey: So our illustrious prince has once again jetted off to the US for the weekend. Ugh!
Jen: For a friend’s wedding! That’s sweet.
Lindsey: Yes, we wouldn’t want his duties as prince to get in the way of a good party.
Jen: What duties? He’s not really doing that much. And did you hear? Linnea Olsen went with him.
Lindsey: Wait, what? I love Linnea.
Jen: Everyone does. I mean people have always talked about how perfect they would be together. Okay, at least since Torin first came back two years ago. Their families have been friends for a long time. They’ve known each other since they were kids.
Lindsey: No question. Linnea is one of us. And she’s definitely princess material.
Jen: For sure. So maybe their get-away is more than just a weekend of partying in Louisiana. Oh! Maybe he’s introducing her to his friends there! And his brother and sister are there! They know her too, but it’s been a while. It’s a good thing for them to all spend time together if Torin and Linnea are dating!
Lindsey: Okay, I’m not so mad about this trip now. But, Torin, if you’re listening, we’re going to need to hear something concrete soon! Spill the tea, Your Highness!
