The water was so hot it was almost scalding, and the bubbles were piled high.

As Everly sank beneath the surface, she felt the troubles of the day evaporate into oblivion. She had no idea of the time, or even of the day anymore. Was it still Monday? How could it only be the first day of the second stage of the competition? She’d already messed up so badly. Not only had she been reprimanded by the most important judge, Madam Baudelaire, but someone had passed off her sketch as their own, and taken credit for her talent. Not to mention the fact that she’d fallen in love with the patron.

Yep, she’d gotten off to a truly awful start.

It hadn’t been entirely awful, though. After all, Madam Baudelaire had praised her drawing of Edward, even though the old lady hadn’t realized whose creation it actually was.

Everly ducked her head under the water, blocking out the noise from the outside world. Her head was noisy enough at the moment. After a second or two, she sat back up, taking a huge breath of steamy air.

Why had Jennifer taken the portrait from the trash and given it to Madam Baudelaire in the first place? How could someone have the audacity to pretend a piece was theirs? Especially someone like Jennifer, who was so openly confident and in possession of a great talent of her own.

The stars twinkled through the bathroom skylight. Everly tried to relax, imagining her parents staring up at the same sky. She missed them so much, it felt like a kite string tugging on her heart. A tear rolled down her wet cheek as she sniffed away the sadness.

I’m being way too emotional, she thought, forcing herself to concentrate on the stars. Think about the brief instead.

As soon as she’d thought it, Everly realized there was no way she was heading back to Kansas. This was too huge an opportunity to give up, and she’d be doing her parents a great disservice by quitting now. It wasn’t like she was going to win, but if she tried her best and worked hard then she might very well get an exhibition or two out of it when she got home. That way she could showcase her work and find herself a good job once she graduated from her community college. It really was the chance of a lifetime.

She used her toe to twist the faucet, more hot water pouring into the bath.

There was another reason why the day hadn’t been as bad as she’d first thought.

Edward had feelings for her.

She squealed a little and ducked back down under the water. A man—a caring, intelligent, kind and wonderful man—really liked her. How on earth had this happened? He was a prince too! Not a real prince, but a member of the Royal Family, and a man, so technically didn’t that make him a prince? She surfaced into the steamy bathroom with a huge grin on her face. A real-life Prince Charming had fallen in love with her.
