Dropping Back Into Bed & Falling In Love All Over Again

The first thing Sophia had done once she woke up didn't have anything to do with her boyfriend. 

Instead, she called her best friend up, while Nicholas was still asleep and she was still completely undressed - and fortunately covered by a comforter. 

Once Clarisse answered her call, she heard Sophia whisper, "Help."

Clarisse was taken aback.

"What?"

"Help?" She furrowed her brows. 

Sophia wasn't calling her to reprimand her? 

"So this isn't about the food fight?" Clarisse mumbled a bit too loudly. 

Sophia asked, "What food fight?" 

Clarisse's eyes widened. She scrambled to do damage control. 

"Nothing, just some palace gossip."

"Ah," Sophia mumbled, uninterested in whatever was happening in the palace. These sorts of things happened all the time in the Beldovian Palace. They were patched up quickly and were forgotten as time passed but Sophia hadn't realized who was involved this time.
