Daniela picked up her phone and called her mother just as the door closed behind her.
"Princess! I've been expecting your call? Am I still not coming to Neravalle anytime soon? Wouldn't Luciano find it weird that you just found out you're pregnant and your mother isn't there for you?"
She rolled her eyes hard, grated at how her mum could go on and on, talking about absolutely rubbish.
"Look, no one cares about that, okay? I called to tell you that I did it!"
Her excitement shone through her voice. She was almost jumping for joy by the time she was done speaking.
"Tell me. Is this about that Valentina witch?"
"Yes mum! Who else? She is out of Neravalle for good. She is completely out of Italy too! And no one suspects me, because I sold my act."
"Oh my princess. Let's switch to face time."
Daniela was only too happy to oblige. The switch happened, and she saw her face, only older.
