Chapter Seven

“Minnie!” Sunny yelled from inside the enormous sitting room at Castle Falk.

“Sunny? OMG! You look radiant!” Minnie gasped, leaning in for a hug.

“Thanks,” her bestie replied easily, eyes going wide when she saw the man standing behind her.

“Oh Sunny, this is Nick,” she said, making introductions.

“No shit, it’s Nick! I know Nick, Minnie,” she replied, snorting her disbelief. “But how do you know Nick?”

“Hello, Sunny. I brought Minerva for the Outreach program party. Where is my brother?” Nicholas asked, and Minnie’s eyes went wide.
