Samuel watched Lena walk away until he couldn't see her and used that time to compose himself before he went to head back inside. Looking up at the sky as he turned to go back inside, he realized that were few hours left before it would start to get dark. This meant that Lena would most likely not get back home until after dark. He would have to remember to text her later to make sure that she made it home safely unless she texted him first.
As soon as he opened the door and stepped back inside to the living room and turned around after shutting the door, Samuel became very aware of all the people looking at him expectantly. He could tell by their faces that not everyone had believed him when he said that the princess was his fiancé. Only his parents, Roger, and Jenifer didn't seem that surprised as they knew the most about the situation. His cousin was probably the most surprised.
