Lucia felt her nerves die a little when they reached the school. Their vehicle was inside the school's fenced-in yard. Lucia immediately noticed that only the students and their teachers were there. She did not know why she had expected a lot of paparazzi. She felt a little silly just thinking about it. When Michael went to visit places, only a few paparazzi were allowed to show up. She had seen many of them outside the schoolyard hoping to catch something. The car came to a stop, and Prince Michael looked at her.
"Are you ready?" he asked her.
Her hand was still in his. A reassuring weight and pressure.
She smiled and nodded, "I am."
