Our meeting with the embassy didn't finish until well after sunrise.
As soon as my father and I stepped out of the situation room and the sun shone through the large windows overhead, I realized the time.
Shit. Lyla.
I hoped she'd fallen asleep and hadn't attempted to wait for me all night like she promised she would. I'd have to make it up to her somehow. Maybe take her shopping for some new things to wear, seeing as we've left at least two outfits behind at the club.
Trying to hide my smile at the thought, I bid my father a good morning before heading to the other side of the palace. There was hardly milling about at this hour besides the cooks finishing up our breakfast spread. More than likely, my sisters and mother had already eaten and gone off to go about their days.
