-Lolo-
Allen kept his arm wrapped around my shoulders as we traveled to the palace in an official vehicle.
“Everything will be fine,” he told me, but in my experience, if someone tells you, it’s because they are trying to convince themselves more than you about something they know nothing about. And I know because I’ve done that many times to Meli.
“Don’t punish your little finger,” Allen made me stop biting my nail. It’s a bad habit, biting my nails, I know. But I only do it when I’m nervous, stressed, anxious, or all the things mentioned before.
Allen tried to encourage me by kissing the hand whose finger I was torturing, but my stomach was made into knots. To say I was worried was an understatement. I feared this could be my fault.
“Allen, why would the King summon us like that?”
