Alissa lifted her head, tears still streaming, but determination flickering in her amber eyes.
"If you don't find us... We will find you!"
That fierce look. She means every word.
The day crawled forward with agonising slowness.
Elara arrived first, her usual radiant smile faltering when she noticed the atmosphere.
"Why does everyone look like someone died?"
How to explain without explaining?
"My shop relocates tomorrow. I won't be here anymore."
The princess went very still. Her amber eyes darted between Noah and his employees, processing his words.
"Relocates where?"
"Somewhere else."
Elara's composure cracked slightly before she regained if.
"For how long?"
"Not sure."
"I see."
"In that case, I'll take all your remaining iced tea. Every bottle."
..Really? No i'm going to miss our training sessions together or anything like that. Oh well, she is a princess, after all.
