Nicole had a frown on her face when she opened the door and realized this wasn't going to be a continuation of her last trip in the past. How was she expected to understand all that had happened between her last visit and now? Nicole wondered as she walked down the hallway to the door she remembered led to Queen Catherine's chamber.
Immediately she walked through the door; she realized it was the same day. The only difference was that Dan was alone with the queen now, while the others were missing.
"You knew? How could you keep it from me?" Queen Catherine asked in a tone that made it clear that she was upset.
"Knew what?" Nicole wondered out loud as she looked from one to the other.
"It wasn't in my place to tell you that. And I'd rather you don't let her know you are aware, either," Ian said quietly.
