I went straight to my room when we arrived back to the palace. I was glad that I didn’t see Henrietta when we got back because I wasn’t sure that I’d be able to deal with her particular brand of snarky right after meeting Violeta. I knew that I just needed some space. The car ride back had been completely silent and I was glad that Tarquin hadn’t tried to talk to me about anything. It was obvious to me that he knew I was pissed. And frankly, he had to know why. Unless he was a dumbass, of course. Which wouldn’t surprise me. I knew many men were dumbasses around beautiful women.

I was glad that Xavier was not in the room when I entered. I didn’t want to deal with any of his sexual innuendos at that moment. I knew I was in the mood where I would go off on him at any moment. I didn’t understand why he hadn’t told me that he’d just come out of a relationship. Was that why he now didn’t believe in love, then? Had his heart been broken? That would explain why he was such a jackass when I met him. If he was still reeling from a bad breakup, it would make complete sense. I just wished he’d told me. Another part of me now wondered if I’d been brought to Romerius to make his ex jealous. From what Violeta had said, it seemed like his ex had been the one to break his heart and not the other way around.

I curled up on the bed and closed my eyes. I didn’t want to think about it too much. I was hurt and angry and upset. I could feel my eyes growing heavy with unshed tears. I felt my heart constrict as I thought about Xavier in love with someone else. I didn’t want to think about Xavier as being a nicer, more loving guy to someone else. I felt green with envy, and jealousy consumed me. It was in that moment that I realized just how much I liked him. I wanted him to like me as well. I wanted him to fall in love with me. I wanted this to be real. In my heart I knew that was the real reason I’d come to Romerius with him. He’d grown in my heart without me being totally aware of it. He was the man who had captured my heart with his first kiss. Maybe even the first smile at the museum. Maybe that was why I’d put up with so much crap. I’d been fooling myself by telling myself I could have sex and no real relationship. I knew that now. Knowing that Xavier had been in a relationship and he’d loved her was breaking me inside.

“Are you sleeping?” Xavier’s voice woke me up as I felt him shaking my shoulder. I yawned as I slowly opened my eyes and I realized that the room was now dark.

“I guess I fell asleep.
