Chapter 47

  THAYER

  God, I miss her.?But I couldn’t get out. I was stuck with work, and my family was expecting me for a public appearance. It wasn’t new to me. I had no issue with that until I found love who lived on the other side of the world.

  I checked my phone and scanned through her friend’s Instagram. Apparently, she got her own fan club. But her friends had no recent post with her on it.?

  I shoved my phone back into my suit pocket when my mother approached.

  “How are you holding up, honey?”

  I smiled. “We didn’t break up, Mom. She’s just spending holidays with her family.”

  “I know.” She squeezed my hand. “Next holiday, you and Kennedy will be spending together at this very same room. Just have little patients.”

  “I’m fine. Really.” But my voice didn’t go with my words.

  “You will be.” She patted my hand before she smiled and walked over to join my father.?

  “Family pictures!” the royal family photographer announced.?
