Lucia was buttering her bread in the breakfast room. She was doing her best not to look at her sister, who was making eyes at her fiancé. She wondered what time they had come home the previous night, but didn't she care enough to ask. Caroline was a big girl and had always been able to take care of herself. Besides, she was safe with Prince Alex. Whether they were being safe on the other hand…
Lucia shook the lewd imagery out of her mind. Yuck! She did not need to envision her sister doing the deed. Besides, it was none of her business.
She heard a pair of feet moving with purpose in the hall. She looked up at the same time that her sister and Prince Alex did to see Prince Michael.
"Good morning," he said as he drew back a chair and took a seat.
Lucia noticed he was dressed formally. She was wearing a summer dress and a coat over it. It had rained sometime in the night, and was chilly.
"Good morning," she said.
