Arabella's P.O.V
All week I've been avoiding the prince and to some extent it's actually worked. I made sure to be very careful and never leave my room without either Flo or Rory present. I always make sure to linger back slightly, so that if Hardin turned around the corner, I could quickly run off.
That's only happened once or twice and thankfully each time I was walking with Flo, so she didn't ask any questions but it did earn me some weird looks.
I mean, I'm in this competition to win the Prince's heart and here I am running away from him every chance I get.
Sometimes he comes to my room but like a gentleman he always knocks, alerting me of his presence, so I quickly strip and jump into the shower, or get Flo to say I'm tired or in the bathroom.
He gets points for effort, especi
