His Voice

Emilia had been sitting at her desk, long lost in thought when her phone rang. Frowning about who would be calling her on her personal number, Emilia considered declining the call. What if someone had leaked her number? But this number was only with Amy, AJ, her father and Lionel.

Emilia felt sick in her stomach but decided to still answer the call. She was no coward. "Hello?" She answered cautiously.

"Princess." Suddenly all the sickness seemed to vaporize into thin air as she recognized the velvety timbre of the voice. It had been so long since she had heard from him.

"Noel..." She breathed his name in a whisper.

"Glad to know you haven't forgotten me, princess. I was almost sure that I would have to introduce myself again."
