“She didn’tspoutanything. She doesn’t spout; she’s a Queen. Queens don’t spout, Sarah.”
“Well, she had you moved to a dusty office that you’d share with–”
“She was following the rules. And besides, I told you: she had it redecorated for me. It’s actually nicer now than my old office.”
“Which you wouldn’t have had to move out of had she just made this decision before,” Sarah Anne pointed out.
“Her father retired; her brother left – she’s figuring this out as she goes.”
“That doesn’t exactly instill confidence in the monarchy my tax dollars pay for, Ingrid.” Sarah Anne gave her a sisterly glare. “Why are you defending her, all of a sudden? You weren’t happy about basically being demoted to the youngest royal.”
“I wasn’t. I’m still not,” Ingrid replied.
“But?”
“I don’t know. Things are changing, I suppose.”
“What things?”
Ingrid sighed and said, “Sarah, I’m worried.”
“About what? Your job?”
“No, something else. I don’t think I even admitted it to myself until today.”
“What?” Sarah placed her beer on the coffee table and turned more toward Ingrid.
“I have a problem.”
“Ingrid, you’re scaring me. What’s wrong?”
“I think I have feelings for the Queen of Norway,” she said out loud for the very first time.
“Feelings? As in, you havefeelings?”
“How else could you interpret that, Sarah?” Ingrid glared over at her with the same sisterly glare she’d just been given herself.
“You mean, youlikeher?”
“Yes,” Ingrid replied.
“Oh, wow. I don’t think I’ve heard you even talk about liking a woman since Britt, and that was over three years ago.”
“I haven’t met one since Britt.”
“Until now,” Sarah Anne replied.
“I don’t know what I’m feeling. Today, she walked into my office, and it was like something just clicked.”
“Your clit, maybe?”
“Sarah!” Ingrid laughed at her brazen sister.
“Well? Did it?”
“It’s not like that.”
“She’s hot, Ingrid. I’m not into that, but the woman is gorgeous. I’d date her brother if he’s available, but Elin is drop-dead gorgeous. She’s like the epitome of a Scandinavian woman, isn’t she?”
