Crown Prince Edward of Stonasia always recognized that his royal responsibilities would complicate his personal life.
However, everything in his life has changed since he met Laura Garcia. Her daughter Joan, with her cuteness and warmth of presence, had captured his heart in ways he never would have imagined.
While attending a business conference with James in Las Vegas as part of a diplomatic mission, Edward took advantage of the chance to visit Laura Garcia.
Though their emotions had never been wholly expressed, they had felt a connection even though it had been months since their previous encounter in Stonasia.
Following the protocol of his meeting with James, Edward contacted Laura to extend an invitation to supper. He wanted to spend one final evening with her before returning to Stonasia to resume his royal duties.
His goal was to discover their mutual meaning in an environment much different from his duties as a crown prince.
