Lucian showed up at the house at eleven a.m. but didn't get near until later. First he decided to just watch everything. He sat and watched the male show up at eleven-thirty. He watched Hannah work in her room and in the kitchen. Finally he couldn't take it anymore and went to the door. After a slight pause he knocked on the door. Hannah opened it and asked him to come in. Together they went into the front room.
"Mom, Steve this is Lucian. Lucian this is my mother Amber and her friend Steve. Anyone want anything to drink?"
" How about a glass of punch for everyone?"
Everyone shakes their head so Hannah goes into the kitchen to get four glasses of punch. meanwhile the three adults stare at each other.
Once Hannah comes back she hands out the glasses. Then she sits down at the other end of the couch from Lucian. And everyone turns toward Lucian. Then Amber starts the conversation. " Okay I don't want to be rude but we really need to know who you are and why Hannah has been dreaming about you for years. And why you show up now. And why you say she is promised to you. Basically we need to know everything. Steve is only here as a friend, more like a third party observer."
"Okay I will try to explain the best I can but you might get confused. I will answer everything you have asked. As you know my name is Lucian. I am the Prince of my people. My father told me that I had a chosen mate. The reason Hannah has been dreaming about me for years is because we have a psychic connection. I knew when she was born that we were ment to be together. And the dreams we share proves that. She is my mate. "
"Wait you are a prince? You don't dress or talk like one. You don't have body guards or any kind of security forces. And I think I would have found out that kind of information about you before now, don't you?"
"Well I'm sorry Steve you must not be a very good detective then. Besides I believe you only looked in the United States. I am not from here. I was not born here i have only lived here for the last few years. I do have my birth certificate if you would like to see it."
"Yes I would actually like to see it. I'm sorry I really don't want to seem rude but I don't know you. YOU say you have a psychic connection with my daughter and that you are royal. I just need a little proof."
"I understand this all must be very hard to understand. Here is my birth certificate. You will see the Royal seal on top. And as for proof you would think all of the pictures Hannah has drawn over the years would be proof enough of our connection."
" Okay I agree that there is a connection. I have watched it grow over the years. I can only assume this is real. I don't know where this seal is from. But I still don't get how this all came about. To be honest no one does. And we would really like to know."
" Well I did a little digging while you two were talking. The seal belongs to a small island kingdom just outside Ireland. So you are royal. But what about the rest?"
"Rest of what Steve I have been explaining. Why don't you try and listen for a while. I came here to talk to Amber and Hannah not you. You are supposed to be observing not getting involved. Now do you two have any questions so far?"
"Mainly both mom and I want to know how it happened. But if you don't even know then we need to find out some how. And you said at eighteen I was yours. What exactly does that mean? Does it have to be right at eighteen or can we get to know each other better?"
"Well that's why I came here now so we could get to know each other better. I didn't want it to be like my brother's union. he waited till her eighteenth birthday and tried to just take her from her family. I learned the lesson and wanted you to come with me because you cared to not because you had to."
Just then a bell chimed at Amber got up and went into the kitchen. After a few minutes she came back out and said dinner was ready. Hannah was surprised to see that they had been talking for almost two hours. So everyone got up and went to the kitchen to eat. Amber and Hannah passed around the dishes and Hannah was pretty sure everyone enjoyed the food. About a half hour after they finished eating Steve had to leave. Then Lucian said he should go as well. But first Hannah gave him the Christmas card she drew. Then he left as well. As the day came to an end Hannah had a lot to think about as she helped her mom clean up.
