~~Quinn's PoV~~
When Rosie and I get home, I decide to call my mom and see if she can take Rosie for the day. I don't want to go back to the palace if I don't have to, not while it's the media circus it's guaranteed to be when the news breaks a little later. For years, all the gossip columnists and entertainment shows have been speculating over when our crown prince would find his mate and settle down, so when he announces that he has, people are going to go nuts.
And one person is going to go more nuts than anyone: my best friend who just yesterday put it together that Carter and I might have been mates all along. How am I going to explain to her that he's now going to be mated to Erica instead? She's going to be suspicious, so to convince her, I'm going to have to lie, and I hate that
