Rowena looked over at her shoulder and was disappointed to see Julian walk away without even a single word.

"Rowena?" Prince Liam tried to get her attention again. "About the dance?"
"You don't have to worry about it at all," Rowena told the prince with a careful smile. "I'm well-versed in numerous dances."
"Oh then if you wish, we could have a quick practice—"
"I'm sorry, but I really need to chase after Julian right now," Rowena said and turned away. "I won't embarrass you on the dance floor, and I appreciate everything that you've done for us so far but I have to talk with my friend."
