Since it was a Sunday, and their schedules were free, it was almost sundown when their visitors left Notios Estates.
The sky was painted in light strokes of indigo and burnt orange as the sun got swallowed on the horizon while they stood by the mansion's main entrance, where a line of cars were waiting by the curb.
Queen Isla and Auntie Martha were hugging each other, too long for the king's liking. He wasn't happy about how the queen was akin to a teenager who got a taste of her freedom for the first time after seeing the queen drink wine all day.
His eyes narrowed into a slit on Auntie Martha who huffed at his direction when the ladies pulled away from their hug.
"I'll see you in the club?" Auntie Martha asked, whispering it into Queen Isla's ears as they cheek kissed.
Queen Isla replied with a wink, "And bring Amelia too. I did send her an invitation."
