NOLAN
Nolan got up quietly, hours before sunrise. He pulled the covers up around Yena’s bare shoulders. She was sound asleep and snoring lightly.
He dressed and started to exit, then found himself pacing back over to the bed and gazing at the peaceful expression on her face as he thought about what he was about to do.
This morning, he had a very early meeting scheduled with the Secretary of State.
Kerr had been the one to request the meeting. But then he had made it very difficult to schedule, canceling several appointments at the last minute.
It was a power play. Kerr was trying to bait the prince into going into a conversation irritated and off his game.
Nolan could not have refused to take the meeting. It was important to keep up appearances right no
