"Your Highness!" Edward catches me right outside the room, "What is wrong? Why are you behaving like this?!" His eyes are worried and his voice urgent.
"There is a freaking TIGER in my bed!" I howl terrifiedly, "How the fuck did it get in here?!"
"Your Highness—" Edward rubs his temple, resigned, "—you are forgetting all your manners that I took years to drill into you. How did this happen?"
