Chapter 57: Oh. Em. Jee!

Leroy watched his baby sister from the window in the study overlooking the driveway. She smiled at the chauffeur and he saw that they exchanged some pleasantries. That was Lucia. She made sure to talk to everyone. She always wanted to help someone. That was one thing she had in common with their mother. Leroy wondered how she did not notice.

He watched her get in the car and the chauffeur closed the door behind her. He walked to the front door and got in. Leroy heard the engine of the vehicle start with a quiet hum. He watched as the car began to drive off the driveway and out of sight.

She was going on a date with the man. She had told Leroy when he had asked why she was not going to be home for lunch and dinner. She had told him that the crown prince of Vershia, who she was calling Michael, was taking her out for the day. He had wanted to ask her where they were going but he resisted. She was an adult capable of making her own decisions.
