Lucien woke up the next day to Ralph's excited cries.
The little boy ran into their connected bedroom to wake him and Annalynne up.
"Mommy Mommy Mommy, let's go to the water park again!!!" the little boy shouted as he pulled at Lucien's blanket insistently.
Ralph's nanny was aghast to see what Ralph was doing. She quickly pulled the little boy away and apologized profusely.
"No need to be sorry," Lucien dismissed her with a wave of his hand. "We need to get ready anyway."
Lucien grabbed his sister's shoulder, prompting the latter to groan.
"Anna, wake up. I thought you wanted to play again."
"Mmmmm..."
"Go and take a shower," Lucien told her.
After much persuasion, Annalynne finally dragged her feet into the bathroom.
Lucien's phone lay just next to his pillow. He had expected to see a reply to his message from Ronan, but there was still nothing at all.
For some reason, Lucien felt restless.
