Austin’s POV
I notice Beta looking sideways at me, probably wondering what measure of a plan I have conjured in the recess of my mind.
I almost want to explain to him that it isn't some show of abracadabra. Just resolve. One which puts me in a position of being a better family member. Care for her as her father did, or even better than he did. And by her, I mean Ellie.
"Pull up here," I tell the driver in front. He pulls into the driveway of a boutique. The sign mounted on an iron bar reads:
Catchoos
Men & Ladies Boutique
"Are you meeting someone here, Your Majesty?" Beta is all inquiry.
I unlock the seat belt and put my hand on the door. "No, Beta. I am getting out here. Meet you back here when I'm done."
"Your Majesty?"
"What?" I snap. "Am I being questioned now?"
He says nothi
