The Same Stories

It was morning, and as usual, Dan left as early as he could so that he would be seated for breakfast with his family.

He had freshened up and had left the cabin without his disguise. He knew for a fact that Bella was fast asleep. For the past few days, he had kept hearing Bella's alarm go off each time he was leaving, but today, he didn't hear any, and he didn't know why. Maybe he would ask her when he came back. He had called Kathleen to inform her he was leaving and that she should be on her way.

Now seated at the dining table with his family and Ben, Dan tried to take his mind off Bella and focus on the conversation going on around him.

"How is Richie feeling now?" The Queen asked as they all ate.

"He is feeling much better," Dan said, raising his head to look at her.

"That's good to know. Queen Heather called to inform me that Princess Bella's presence would be needed at home, so she is to travel back in two days," The Queen announced.
