Helanie:
After I heard Emmet speak, I began to realize the only issue he had was that he did not communicate it with me, or that he didn't have time to. I guess after what happened last time, when he asked me to come to a well to help him but ended up pushing me down, it made him not want to drag me into his plans this time. Because Goddess forbid if anything happened, I'm sure none of us would be able to recover from that.
"Okay," I said, still trying to look very mad at him.
"Okay," Emmet repeated my words, looking at Norman and then at Maximus.
"I'll go now," Emmet added, and I gave him a head nod, stepping out of the way so he could leave. Otherwise, I would've ended up hugging him, so it was better if he left.
As he was walking past me, he uttered very slowly, but very sexily, "And the queen is indeed back."
As he left, I fought to hide the smile, and then I was facing Norman and Maximus.
"I have something to say as well," Maximus said.
"What is it?" I asked him.
