Chapter 200 – What A Girl Wants

• “What, you snuck out? Didn’t…tell him?” Jesse asks, his frown deepening in his confusion.
• “What did you want me to do,” Daphne asks, giving him a genuine grin, “go knocking on bedroom doors and wake everyone up just to tell them I’m leaving? It is very early, Jesse, even if you keep psychotic child hours.”
• “No, definitely don’t want you…knocking on doors…” Jesse murmurs, studying her for a moment as he processes the subtle information about closed doors and sleeping arrangements in the Palace last night. Then he works hard to fight a pleased smirk and turns his face away, lifting his chin towards the cab and starting over towards it. Daphne follows, suppressing her own grin.
