Lucia was lounging in her room when her phone rang. She saw who was calling and immediately became alert. A smile lit up her face, and she didn't hesitate to answer the call.
"Caroline," Lucia sang her sister's name into the phone.
"How can you not tell me you got engaged?" Caroline's voice had a strong hint of what Lucia recognised as fake anger.
"How did you know?" Lucia was curious.
"News travels fast when the queen wants to hold a gathering to welcome her next daughter-in-law into the family," Caroline sang.
"Oh my," Lucia said in horror, and then something clicked; how did Caroline know?
"How do you know?" she asked.
"Oh please," Caroline said with a roll of her eyes, "That's not important. What's important is you getting engaged and not telling me! I'm your sister!"
"I just got home this morning," Lucia defended herself. "Can I not have a rest before I start calling you?"
