The apartment couldn’t have been more than the size of my bedroom back at the palace—which I’d admit, was larger than the average person’s bedroom—and all the signs pointed to the place being relatively lived-in. Family portraits in pretty little frames decorated almost every inch of wall space. There was an abundance of potted plants tucked away in corners, hanging from hooks that had been jammed into the ceiling, and placed on shelves for the dual purpose of serving as bookends. I had to admit that there was something incredibly charming about where Alison lived. If her sense of décor was at all a reflection of her personality—bold and lively—then it definitely suited her in every way.

She had apparently turned her office into Adam’s nursery. Her work desk had been tucked away against one of the walls, baby supplies like diapers, burping rags, and the like spread out all over the place. A cheap white crib had been constructed and placed in the center of the room beneath a hand-made paper mâché mobile of various marine animals. Various stuffed toys had been gathered up into a giant pile in the corner, and all of the hard corners in the room had been taped over in a thorough process of babyproofing. Adam lay on his back, fast asleep amongst a nest of soft knitted blankets.

“The question is, what do you want?”

“I don’t follow.”

“You kept Adam a secret from me for a reason. I’m not trying to be accusatory—that’s just a fact. I only want to do what makes you feel comfortable the most. As Adam’s mother, I respect your decision completely.”

“You’re not taking him away?” she asked cautiously.

“What? No. Why would I do that?”

“Adam is a Prince. Isn’t there some protocol that says he needs to return to Wyvernbank? Away from me?”

I looked up, alarmed at the distress in Alison’s voice, which was so thin that it sounded like it was going to break at any given moment. I wanted to reach out and hold her hand. I wanted to wrap her up in my arms and hold her close, to whisper reassurances into her hair and drown in her warmth. But I couldn’t. Things were different now.
