Victoria

We barely step inside the door of the palace before Queen Penelope is called away. One of the many attendants takes over after the queen promises that we’ll all have lunch together tomorrow.

It seems like a pretty long walk to my room, but between my throbbing foot and my exhaustion, it’s hard to tell if it actually is a long distance or if it only seems that way.

I saw the way Andrew looked at me after his mother insisted she would show me to my room herself. It was a little hard to tell what it was on his face, exactly, but it looked like some combination of anger, sadness, and fear. Definitely fear.

At least Andrew has his family—almost every single one of them was out there to greet him, to reassure him. To show him they care. The past several days have gone by quickly, but it can’t really be lost on Andrew that there has been no one who has been missing me. That no one showed up at the hospital in the middle of nowhere to claim me—not even the editor of the magazine where I’ve worked for the past five years. At least Andrew has his family and people around him who care about him. He can sleep tonight knowing he’s loved.

And how the hell am I ever supposed to sleep again? Andrew can probably find comfort in the arms of someone tonight—and even if he can’t, at least he’s at home and can sleep in his own bed. I don’t have any of those things.

The attendant—maybe he’s a valet—drops me off at the door to one of the many rooms. It might even be the same room I stayed in with Elle a few weeks ago, but it’s hard to tell since every door in this palace looks the same.

As soon as I enter, I can see it definitely is not the same room—the decorations are different and I think this one is a little smaller. There is a tiny sitting area and a doorway to the bedroom on the other side of the room.

As nice as sleeping on a real bed for the first time in days sounds, it isn’t until that moment I remember I have nothing. No clothes, no makeup, no…anything. The dress the hospital gave me is fine, but it’s nothing I would have normally chosen for myself.

I remember Andrew telling me that my every need would be met, but when I walk into the bedroom, I don’t see anything out of the ordinary. There’s a bed, a large dresser, and a nightstand next to the bed. I walk over to the dresser and slide open one of the drawers—it’s empty, as are the rest of the ones I check.

I walk into the closet, hoping that maybe someone will have thought to hang up the promised clothes. But when I walk in, it’s just as empty as the dresser. There are plenty of hangers, but nothing hanging on them.

I close my eyes for a second.
