I’d only been in Paris a few short hours before I reported for my first duty. I was serving food at one of the local homeless shelters today. It had always been one of my favorite places to come as a kid. My parents would bring my brothers and I every Christmas. Even though we were extremely privileged, and Santa never skipped our houses, serving food for the less fortunate put things into perspective. The shelter was also one of the few places that always supported my father, regardless of what the rest of the country said about him. When my brother stepped into the role of king, they were very vocal in their praise. And when he chose to marry Adeline, a commoner, they were even more so. Amir and I pulled up to the shelter, and he switched off the car.

“Are you sure you want to drive home by yourself?”

“Please. It’s only two blocks, and I need my space.” I smiled. “Besides, Aramis is coming to serve food with me, so I’ll be safe.” I winked.

Amir nodded as we stepped out of the car, and he jogged over to the waiting SUV with the other security members. The thing I loved about Paris was that, yes, we were always flanked by security, but in instances like these, where we were close to home and at a safe place, we were allowed some freedom. It wasn’t much, but when you lived under a microscope, you learned to appreciate every bit of it. As I walked to the door, I sent my brother a text, telling him I would wait for him inside. On the rare occasion where we felt extra daring, we stood outside for a while with no security, hiding behind sunglasses and beneath hats. Today, I just wanted to go inside and do my duty so that I could go home and sleep in my bed. My phone vibrated, and I stopped walking, unlocking the screen to find a text, though not from my brother.

Ben: I hope you had a good flight. I miss you already.

I took a deep breath and smiled, reveling in those words. Ben missed me, and it wasn’t like he had to tell me as much. He could have played it cool like most guys I knew. Instead, he’d sent me a message, telling me that he missed me. I bit my lip as I responded.

Me: I miss you too. I wish I had thought to kidnap you and bring you in my suitcase.

Ben: I saw the size of your suitcase. I think I’d fit.

Me: haha. I think you might!

Ben: I wouldn’t have been opposed to going home to be with you.

Butterflies took flight in my belly. I bit my lip harder.

“I’m surprised he let you out of his sight.”

I gasped at the sound of Kayla’s voice and glanced up to find her standing a few feet away from me. “What are you doing here?”

“I live in the area.” She shrugged.
