Mia gripped the seatbelt tightly and looked out the window as Leo drove them back to his apartment.ย
How did everything turn out this way? The day suddenly felt very long as she tried to recall the incidents of the day up to when Leo had said those three words to her before saying her name.ย
"I love you, Mia Lucas."ย
Those words had been echoing in her ears repeatedly for the past few minutes.
Love? Was it the kind of love she was thinking about? How? How did it happen? A month ago, if someone had told her that one of the sons from the King's family would tell her he was in love with her, she would have called the person crazy and wouldn't even laugh it off as a joke because it wouldn't have been funny.
