I felt my mouth drop open. The sound of my utensils clattering onto my plate made the waitstaff around us jump.
“My…?” I couldn’t even finish the sentence. The bile from before was starting to work its way up my throat.
Me and… Falcon…? We were going to be…?
“Well, don’t look so shocked. You are the daughter of a Beta. Of course you would be heavily considered for the position. I don’t know why you ever thought I wouldn’t be able to get it for you in the first place.”
I had to force myself to suck in a breath before I actually did pass out and faceplant right into my plate of food.
“Wow!! Father, I can’t believe it!”
I hoped that my face flushing would be chalked up to being excited over the prospect of being married to Falcon and not that I was seeing stars cloud my vision. I gripped the table and forced a smile onto my face, praying that the sweat I could feel collecting around my brow wasn’t too noticeable.
