"Go I’ll see you later" Sa motions toward the door "And I won’t tell David you think he’s hot"
It wasn’t very ladylike, but I shot her the bird If there was one thing I had learned about Sam and Jess over the last year, it was that they loved to see me squirh the door I just laughed My brother had done well for himself
FOUR
PICKING UP THE flowers, I frowned They were the wrong color Again Selene had even taken pictures to the florist to show the flowers
"Was there a proble the ones the duchess requested?" I looked at the woh and thought this would be a good alternative" She twisted the paper in her hands
"You’ve had the flower order for et aith a lotwhen you said it, and this woman was already a nervous wreck
"Yes, ma’am But there was a problem with the delivery truck and the shipment arrived in poor condition We were able to receive these on short notice"
"Ah" I nodded my head like I wasn’t frustrated "Well, in that case, they ork just fine" It wasn’t that I wasI wanted was for Sam to see her flowers and be upset that they weren’t what she picked out
The rest of the appoint erators Food was being prepared and the bakers had begun working on the cake and cupcakes I shook my head as I looked at the cupcakes that covered a worktable Alex and Sam hadn’t been able to decide on a cake flavor, so had opted for several different types of cupcakes It had actually been an ingenious idea, because it uests with food allergies
"The tailor delivered the dresses last night" Selene looked at her clipboard as alked through the palace I had tried to get her to use a tablet, but she didn’t care for electronics Of course, she was older than my mother, so it shouldn’t surprisewas as it should be" Sheat the uard at the front gate He’s worried about the guests’ arrival"
"I think Alex already took care of that Would you double-check for me?"
"Of course" The scribble of her pencil made me sh to start attending official functions--before my father had passed away
One of Selene’s junior secretaries stopped h them quickly Tabitha was a s about her screas, the sharp look in her eyes, the constant volunteering, the way she tried to fit into ood replacement for her one day, but I had serious doubts
"The list is fine, except for this name" I tapped the na piece on the duchess a couple ofto let hi day just for kicks"
"Yes, ma’am I’ll make a note of it" Tabitha bobbed her head and hurried on down the hallway in a different direction
"It see has been taken care of," I said
"You’ve done an excellent job of seeing to everything" Selene sirl? Did their gifts coive thehfor a confirmation of delivery
"They are wrapped and in the duchess’s room"
Samantha hardly ever used her rooht you would find her in Alex’s roo the way they loved each other, but to be honest that would just be jealousy talking I wanted so like what they had but knew better than to think it would really happen to me
"Excellent She will be able to use her rooht not agree with ht before they got married I’d sleep in front of her door if I had to I wanted hiown and feel the full impact Most people didn’t find true love; they had been lucky Far luckier than I was likely to be I’d never be able to trust that soet theet in her own bed" Selene cracked a smile "If you can keep her there" The staff at the palace thought it was funny that Sam snuck into Alex’s room and vice versa Eventually it became a loud secret No one openly talked about it, but they all kne Sam didn’t even try to hide it She just cah the palace’s official stance was that they had separate roolue and extra door lock" I laughed Saiven me an evil look when I told her she had to stay in her roo I kneas an old tradition, but it was so we had upheld in our family Plus, I was a romantic They’d thank me later
