Amelie emptied the bags and went to the washroom. As she washed her face, she looked at herself in the mirror. She gazed at the pendant on her neck and held it. "No matter what Gabriel says, I am dependent on the others. Why am I weak?" Water droplets trickled down from her forehead to her cheeks to her chin.
Grabbing the towel from the cabinet, and dabbed it across her face. In the beginning, when she ran away from her pack, she had decided a lot of things from becoming stronger to becoming independant.
If Gabriel hadnโt come in her life, she would have to protect her and Noa alone. With him by her side, everything was easy, but she felt she was too dependant on him. For everything.
Exiting the washroom, she let the towel hang on the chair and sat on the bed. Her eyes moved to the door, feeling the musky scent that started to spread across the room.
Gabriel was on the door and walked in, shutting it behind him.
"You can lay on the bed," Gabriel suggested. ๐๐ฟ๐๐๐ฐ๐ฒ๐๐ง๐ ๐ง๐ฒ๐ฅ.๐๐จ๐
"I will after having dinner. You should freshen up," Amelie pointed. She observed that he looked troubled. Even during their return journey, he was quiet most of the time. While Amelie tried talking, Gabriel would end the conversation before turning all silent.
โHe suddenly decided to leave the palace. Ge definitely looked upset from his mother. I hope he opens up with him,โ she thought.
A knock on the door grabbed her attention. She pulled the doorknob and let the servants inside. They set the table for them before heading out.
As Amelie again shut the door, she heard her phone buzzing. She rumbled through her purse and pulled out the phone. It was from Carlos.
It bewildered him that he called her at such an hour. It wasnโt late, but she felt a little odd, thinking if everything was fine at his end. Without delaying further, Amelie answered his call.
"Did I disturb you?" Carlos mused. "I was going to hang up." ๐๐ฃ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐น.๐๐ ๐
"No. You didnโt disturb me. Howโs grandma? I wanted to call you, but I felt you would be disturbed," Amelie said.
"Grandma is better now. Iโve landed in the capital," Carlos replied.
"What? Youโre in the capital!" Amelie exclaimed in shock.
Gabriel had come out and heard her speaking on the phone. He changed into his night clothes and sat on the sofa, not wanting to disturb her.
"Yeah. I thought to give you a surprise," Carlos said, smiling.
"Carlos, I returned to San Ravendale today. Iโm not in the palace. Could you perhaps come here? I am so sorry. I shouldโve informed you too that my mate and I werenโt in the palace," Amelie said, looking at Gabriel.
"Donโt be sorry. I didnโt even inform you that I was coming. Fortunately, Iโm on the airport. Iโll take the flight to San Ravendale then," Carlos asserted, not taking it as a discomfort.
Gabriel had approached Amelie, gesturing to her to put the phone on the speaker.
She immediately did it.
"Hey, Carlos. Iโm Gabriel."
