Chapter 117 Safe At Last?

• Annie
• I mingle with other royals as the evening progresses. Sadly, for the most part, Daniel and I are separated. Every time we think we have time to at least stand beside one another, we're pulled apart. The royal ladies take me to an opposite corner to interrogate and let me in on the latest gossip. Well, the kind that doesn't involve me or my husband. Daniel is grabbed by other foreign officials who wish to speak to him about who know what. Based on their tense and professional body language, I think it's business related.
• We pretty much spend the entire evening ping-ponging back and forth, barely spending enough time with each other to ask the other how the evening is going. I don't mind this though, because the way Daniel looks at me, reassures me that we'll be spending much more time together--as close as we can be.
