Noel placed his hands behind his head as he lay on the bed, looking up. To any onlooker, it may look as if he was staring up, but in fact, his gaze was turned inwards, his eyes fixed on a random place. He felt restless.
He had not looked for any date to bring to the coronation or even the wedding for the simple fact that he had assumed that Emilia would be his date. However, she already had a date. The entirety of his night had passed staring up...his thought dominated by a certain girl.
He'd even almost stood outside her room to wait and see what time would Clive leave her room. Maybe then he would go to her and they could have sat together. Only his own pride had kept him from turning going there. He did not understand his own protectiveness of her. Why did she have to bring Clive of all people as her date?
A slight knock on his door made him turn his head and AJ entered the room.
