ChapterS 52

Ember's Pov

I paced back and forth in my bedroom thinking of the best way to broach the topic. It wasn't just the topic though, it was also the outcome of the events. It gave room for my anxiety to consider the fact that there was going to be a meeting. A meeting that involved, my father, Paris, and I, being in one room.

That was enough to throw me off balance. Just thinking about it had my nerves flying. And now I couldn't help but consider the wisdom in accepting Paris's help in this project.

"What was I thinking?" I asked in distress.

I know what I had been thinking. At the time, I had been thinking, this would be a good chance to gather as much support as I could in sending the youths to school.

But now? It was only a good source of anxiety. Especially with the fact that my father and Paris would be in the same room. My father didn't exactly like Paris, and Paris wasn't aware that King Henry was my father.
