Susie. Susie gave me a supportive smile.

“How’s Elva?” she asked.

“I’m surprised the King let her stay,” Olivia said loudly to Lilliana, who agreed.

“Did you say something, Tiffany?” Olivia called.

“Nothing to worry about,” Tiffany replied.

Olivia frowned. Everyone went back to their breakfast.

I wondered if it had to do with how Nicholas had been giving Olivia and me more attention than he had
