I could feel Meredith pulling away from me - and not just physically.

There had been a moment earlier, when we were in her room together and she was in my arms that I felt like she was finally giving in to what I knew she felt toward me. I thought that finally I had gotten through to her and that she understood that I meant what I said when I told her I loved her. But as the morning went on, I could feel the distance she was putting between us. It was even more obvious now as she moved away from me and into the crowds. I tried to keep her in view, but the crowds closed around her and swallowed her up.

My gut clenched and my eyes darted around. I could see Danika over my shoulder but Daniel and Cody had been absorbed by the crowd too - not an easy feat when they were both large men with scowling faces. I only hoped that they had eyes on Meredith.

Benjamin had suggested we wear earwigs and microphones but both Meredith and I had objected. There were things we didn’t want the rest of the team knowing. I rued that decision now as I tried to find Meredith in the crush. At least if we’d had ear pieces then I would know that she was safe.

I had no reason to think that she couldn’t look after herself. She was a skilled fighter in both armed and unarmed combat. We had sparred enough times for me to be confident in her abilities. But still… There was a protectiveness that squeezed my chest because I didn’t have eyes on her.

The crush of the crowd seemed to pull me away from the direction that she went. I fought against the flow. I didn’t want to get separated from her. I stopped and people cursed as they had to go around me, but I didn’t care. I took a moment to survey the crowd and then I spotted her head as she headed for one of the exits. She was running from me.

I swore under my breath and headed in her direction. I didn’t bother trying to signal Danika or Cody and Daniel. They would just have to keep up. I needed to get to Meredith. Apart from the fact that we were supposed to be impersonating the queen and prince, her putting distance between us was a problem. I didn’t like to think about what it meant for us or for our future.

The crowds parted for me slowly. I felt like I was swimming against the tide and she got further away from me. Her smaller figure meant she could slip through the crowds easier. I became increasingly annoyed as the distance between us grew. She was freaking out and if she wasn’t careful she would blow this mission. We were supposed to be a loving couple and we looked the least like a loving couple right now. If the press got a hold of this, it could be bad for the royal couple.
