I rolled my eyes, turning away. “Very well. Be on your way and let me know once it is all arranged. I will handle the document the King needs to sign and get that to you soon.”
“Absolutely my Queen.” She nodded and backed out of the room.
I walked over to the mirror on the wall once I was alone. “Mirror, mirror on the wall… where is that bitch Snow White?” I spat through gritted teeth.

I looked up and saw the house in the distance, snaking up the tree with smoke coming out of the chimney.
Would he be there? If he was, what would I say to him? What would he say to me? Part of me was pissed that he left me, the other part was not sure how things would be between us after this trip. The soreness between my legs was a gentle reminder of what we shared.
I opened the door and found Enzo swinging from the exposed beams, while Calix chuckled from behind the bar top in the kitchen.
Enzo saw me walk in and dropped just in front of me. “Scarlet!” He grabbed my hands. “Where did you go?” He spun me in a circle.
