For the next few days, I went to bed every night thinking about Alex, and I woke up still thinking about him.

I had no idea what I should do with my inconvenient feelings for Alex or if I should do anything at all.

I went down to breakfast much earlier than normal on Saturday, so early that my mother wasn’t even up yet. I was surprised to see Henry already at the table though.

“Why are you up so early?”

“I’m going to Paris this morning and wanted to get an early start.”

“Why are you going to Paris?”

“To visit a friend.”

I nodded, not asking for any further information. I did wonder if his friend was a woman.

Henry was always very careful about his social life since as a prince and the heir to the throne of Villemont, the rest of the world was interested in whom he was spending time with. He hadn’t dated anyone publicly for a couple of years, but I doubted he would really live like a monk for all that time.

He might have been seeing someone secretly. If I were in his position, that was what I would have been doing.

He cocked an eyebrow at my prolonged silence. “What is it?”

Maybe because I hadn’t gotten much sleep, but I asked more bluntly than I normally would have, “Do you have a girlfriend?”

Both his eyebrows went up. “Nothing serious.”

I peered at him and decided he was telling me the truth. “I guess you don’t want the whole world to be interfering in your business.”

“Not if I can help it.” He took a slow sip of coffee. “You should be careful too.”

“Why should I be careful?”

“You’re a princess.”

“But not a very interesting one. The paparazzi doesn’t follow me around.”

“I suppose not. But you’re still a princess. And that means some people are going to be interested in what you do. Remember what happened to Amalie in the States?”

“Yes, but that was because Mother tipped off the tabloids that there was a princess in disguise. She wanted to get Amalie back here. She’s not going to do that with me. I’m already here, and I’m not up to anything remotely exciting.”

Henry chuckled. “Maybe you should be.”

“Maybe I should be what?”

“Be doing something exciting, doing what you want to do. You should at least try it before you settle down and do exactly what everyone expects you to do.”

“Is that what you’re doing?”

His forehead wrinkled slightly, like he was thinking. “No. But maybe I will one day.”

I wasn’t sure what to say to that, and he seemed lost in his own thoughts anyway. I did think about what he said though.

Maybe I should try to get what I wanted—at least once in my life.

And, right now, Alex was what I wanted.

I couldn’t eat much breakfast, but I came to a few conclusions at the table.

Pride or not, I’d always wonder and regret it if I didn’t make one more effort to discover if there could ever be something between us.

I got up from
