Chapter 44 Shocked, Relieved, And Overjoyed

Emory
Lola wants to see the gardens, so we leave Helga and Nellie to unpack Lola’s things and we make our way outside. Kane insists I have guards with me at all times so we have two guards following behind us, far enough to give us some privacy but always in sight. I bring Lola to the rose garden. I haven’t avoided the place even after that time Opal and her friends tried to attack me there.
I refuse to let Opal and her ilk drive me away from things I enjoy. The rose garden is a truly beautiful place, and I will continue to visit it. I warn Lola not to touch the rose bushes so she won’t hurt herself on the thorns. Lola gives the roses a minute of her attention before proceeding to try and climb a tree.
