“Your mom?”
“Yes.”
“She knows we’re here?”
“Well, I told her and Lillian. Technically, I had to tell a lot of people where I was going… But they don’t knowyou’rewith me. My mom and Lillian do, though.”
“You told your mom about us?” Ingrid asked, softening at Elin’s expression that showed concern.
“Is that not okay?”
“No, it’s great. I just didn’t know they knew.”
“My dad kind of knows, too,” Elin added.
“Your father knows we’re here?” she asked.
“No, he knows we’re dating,” Elin clarified.
“Hedoes?”
“I came out to him – to my whole family, actually – and I told him I liked you.”
“And what was his response?”
“He said he liked you, too,” Elin replied, laughing lightly.
“What?”
“Not likethat, obviously. He just liked working with you.”
“And he’s okay with this?”
“He’s dealing with it in his own way.”
“Which means?”
“Well, at first, I told him I was gay and that I liked you. To that, he responded by calling the King and Queen of the United Kingdom and, essentially, told them that he thought Alex and I should spend more time together.”
“He did what?” Ingrid crossed her arms over her chest.
Elin walked to her and uncrossed them for her.
“I then told him that, it turned out, you liked me, too. I told him we’d gone on a date and that we were going on another. Ialsotold him that Alex and I will never happen, and that it’s time he lets me figure out my love life on my own.”
“You told him all that?”
“On the phone, while I drove to the airport this morning to fly home,” Elin confirmed.
“I’m a little jealous, you know?”
“Because of Alex?”
“She’s a Princess and will be a Queen, like you. She’s also out and very attractive, Elin. It’s like they make all you royals in factories or something; you’re all so gorgeous.”
“You think I’m gorgeous?” Elin asked, smiling shyly at her.
Ingrid cupped Elin’s face and said, “Yes, I do.”
