Like every other day, he was up early in the morning. He had already run a few laps on the palace grounds. Then, he took a warm, relaxing shower to kick off his morning. Now, all he required was his coffee and to read the daily news in peace.
As he was perusing the front page, his mind wandered off to last night's event. It was just dinner, nothing fancy, but it felt like it had been one of the most enjoyable evenings he had experienced in quite a while.
He had dinners with the Count and Liam before or with his other friends, but something was different. He could not pinpoint it exactly, but maybe it was the girl.
He admitted enjoying his conversation with her, but unfortunately, short it might be. Maybe it had been a while since he met new people, at least young fresh faces, and talked about mundane things like cooking and not the usual business acquisitions and mergers.
