“Security,” Elin explained, pointing at two men who were standing behind her and off to the side.
“Oh, my God!”
Ingrid looked behind her to see her sister standing there, gawking at Elin.
“I’m sorry. I should have called,” Elin said. “You’re busy.”
“No, this is just my sister.”
“Hey,” Sarah Anne said.
“It’s nice to meet you. Sarah Anne, right?” Elin asked Sarah.
“Yeah. I mean, yes, Your Majesty.”
Elin smiled at Ingrid and then said, “Well, can I come in, or should I come back another time, or–”
“Come in,” Sarah Anne answered.
“Come in, Ma’am,” Ingrid added.
The two security guards walked in first. They made their way around the apartment, looking inside both Sarah Anne and Ingrid’s rooms – which, Ingrid realized, weren’t exactly clean, and then left the apartment after nodding to Elin. She walked into the apartment, and Ingrid closed the door behind her.
“Oh, shit!” Sarah Anne yelled and rushed back into the kitchen. “Sorry, I meant to say, ‘Your Majesty’ after that.”
“What’s going on?” Elin asked.
“She’s cooking dinner, and she’s at a very pivotal stirring point or something. It’s a chef thing, I think,” Ingrid replied.
“Oh, I should let you eat your dinner. I really should have called. I don’t know what I was thinking, honestly.”
“It’s okay. Admittedly, I never expected you to come to my apartment, but is everything okay, Ma’am?”
“Everything’s fine, yes,” Elin said.
“Would you like to sit down? I can make tea. I have Earl Grey, I think.”
“I drank the last one!” Sarah Anne yelled from the kitchen.
“Then, I have no tea to offer you,” Ingrid added. “I have coffee, though. I know you normally don’t drink it, but–”
“We have wine. I brought a good bottle home from the restaurant last week,” Sarah Anne said. “Don’t worry, I paid for it, Your Majesty.”
Elin laughed a little at Ingrid’s sister and turned back to Ingrid.
“I’ve interrupted dinner with your sister; I think I should go. But I was hoping to talk to you, Ingrid.”
“You didn’t interrupt. I’m making enough food for an army.That’sa chef thing. I can set a plate for you,” Sarah Anne said.
“No, I couldn’t intrude.”
“You wouldn’t be; I just invited you, Your Majesty.”
“You can say ‘Ma’am’ now, Sarah,” Ingrid told her.
“What?”
“It’s ‘Your Majesty’ at first and then ‘Ma’am’ after that,” Elin explained. “But I’m inyourhome, and I stopped by unannounced, so feel free to call me Elin.”
