The Luna Choosing Game
Chapter 20
Around us, the girls were speaking with each other and the royal family. Only Nicholas, Susie, and myself
were silent.
The King gave Nicholas a hard look, and Nicholas’s lips twitched like he wanted to frown but didn’t.
I thought he might talk to me, but instead, he leaned forward to see Susie around me.
“It is a pleasant evening, wouldn’t you agree, Susie?”
Susie paled. “You… know my name?”
“Of course. I know the name of every candidate.”
“… oh…” She audibly swallowed a spoonful of soup. “Of course. Sorry to offend.”
“I’m not offended,” Nicholas said. “But, to my question. Wouldn’t you agree?”
Susie’s face shifted from white to red so fast, I worried she might be lightheaded. I placed an arm beside her, ready to catch her if she tilted.
“A–Agree?” Susie stuttered
“Yes.” Nicholas’s brow furrowed slightly. “That the weather is pleasant?”
“Ohl Yes, Yes, very pleasant.” Susie pushed her chair back. “If you’ll excuse me, I… I, uh… I have to use the bathroom!”
She jumped to her feet and started walking away. Halfway to the door she turned around, seemingly having realized she was still clutching her cloth napkin. She dropped it onto her chair, and then scuttled away, pressing her hands to her face.
