Arielle
I tried not to think about my conversation with Riley and focused on my work. Besides, just like I told her, my mind was already made up. I couldn't leave.
—Not when Damien and I had accepted each other.
With a smile on my face, I went on to the stables to provide feed for the horses and examined their shoes. I was still at it when my eyes suddenly caught movement at the entrance.
My heart jumped the second my eyes landed on no one else but Bailey.
Her nose squeezed upwards as she sighted me.
Her favorite guards suddenly spawned at her side like we were in a video game, holding the parasol for her.
"Arielle! Where have you been?" She called me out.
With the excitement on her face and the question, I knew this could never be good. The last thing I wanted was for her to know that I had been talking with Riley.
