Twenty-Six:
Princess Ashden
Haven was hiding something from me. He had told me that he was adopted, but he hadn’t told me anything about his life before. There had never really been time to talk about that sort of thing, I supposed. More apt was that the two of us being close in that way would have been frowned upon. So I’d never thought to ask my guard questions about his life. I should have, and he should have been able to ask me questions about mine.
That Haven had had a girlfriend wasn’t a surprise to me. He was gorgeous, and I was only surprised that he wasn’t a womanizer like most of the other boys in court. He did not use his wealth or status to get girls to fall in love with him even though he could have easily.
There were plenty of girls that made eyes at him.
