Chapter 19 Back In The Palace

• Daniel
• My mother stares at me from across the hallway, a satisfied smirk on her face as she takes in the scene of Annie fast asleep in my arms. She fell asleep in the middle of the plane ride, after our conversation, and hasn't woken up since. It's quite impressive actually. She slept through the plane ride, and only made little content sleepy noises when I moved to carry her off the plane. It was quite adorable actually and definitely a moment I'll have to look back on.
• "I see all is well?" My mother whispers her question, making sure she doesn't wake Annie.
