The Boys Return

      Lucas was waiting for his sister and followed her when she left Mason to head to her bedroom.  The women who worked in the kitchen were beginning to bring up the buckets and bowls of steaming water to fill the Prince's tub.

      Ilona was almost to the doors of her bedroom when she realized her brother was still following her.

      "What do you want now, Lucas?  I'm tired.  I want to go change and sleep."

      "Roman and Samuel said they told you Jamie and Nick had come home.  We've been waiting to wake them, but now that you've finished doctoring your Prince, we should do so."

      Ilona came to a halt.  She groaned and ran her hands over her face, only realizing how tired she was now that she no longer had to be worried for Mason.  She had completely forgotten about Jamie and Nick.
