Turning over in bed, I groan, forcing my eyes to open in the growing daylight, flinching from the brightness. I hold my hand up to the curtains and bunch it into a fist, shutting them and blocking out the dawn light.

Surprised to find myself alone, I sit up and rub the back of my neck. I feel better than I did yesterday, but I wasn’t ready to wake up. Happy that I no longer feel dizzy, I climb out of bed and head to the shower.

Feeling the hot water hit my skin in a blissful downpour that eases away the last of my tiredness, I clean up and turn it off, thankful that all I needed was a good night’s rest. I’ve been burning the candle at both ends for a while now, it was bound to catch up with me.

Just as I finish getting dressed, there is a soft knock at the door.

“Savvie?” Dad calls out.

I go to it and open it with a smile. “Hi,” I say and let him in.

“Your men,” he growls with a vicious look, “were concerned about you last night. They came to get me, but you were asleep when I got here. Are you okay?”

I nod. “I think I was just tired,” I say, feeling foolish for thinking that I was on death’s door. “All I needed was a good sleep.”

He gives me a grave look. “Are you sure?”

I nod.

He folds his arms across his chest and looks out of the window. “Is this about the men?” he croaks out. “Do you need your mother? We can get her if you need to discuss… things with her.”

My cheeks blossom into a blush so fierce, I want to crawl under the bed. Glad to see that even being Queen and a goddess hasn’t changed our father-daughter relationship.

“Nope,” I squeak. “All good. I…” I’m going to have to say it now to get away from this uncomfortable topic. “I…I’ve never been sick before, I was worried… you know… because of grandmother…”

He slowly turns his eyes back to me, a startled look on his face. “Savvie,” he says kindly. “That is quite a leap from feeling tired to thinking you’re going to get really sick. Why would you even think that?”

I shrug. “I don’t know. I was feeling paranoid and irrational. I guess I just wanted reassurance that it wasn’t the case,” I mumble, feeling like the biggest idiot on the planet. But last night, I’d been truly worried. Now, it all seems so silly, so mortal of me. I wonder where it came from.

He nods, but I can see that he doesn’t really understand it and that he is now extremely worried about me.

So, I change the subject – again.

“Listen, about this announcement I was going to make yesterday…”

“I figured it’s about your relationships,” he interrupts me briskly.

“Well, it was, but then something else came up.”

He looks at me expectantly.

I owe it to him to tell him about this first. The fact that I hadn’t even taken that into account before now, makes me feel like the worst daughter in the world.
