Declan
“Have a good night." I smiled at Henley and headed to my car.
She opened the door, and her eyes met mine one last time, and then she closed it without so much as a smile.
I had to fight the urge to march into the palace, carry her out, and marry her right then and there. But that would be going a little overboard. Instead, I started my car and pulled down the long drive to go home. Getting engaged was more than enough for one night. When I got to the gate, it opened and the guard inside gave me a stern look.
But he didn't want to mess with me. Not in the mood I was in.
I drove back to my castle a bit faster than I should have, thinking of Henley the whole time. She didn't think I was ready for this, and she was right. It's going to take a lot to move on, to trust someone again
