From the moment they were gone, Delaney was anxiously awaiting their return. She paced around her sitting room and then up to her bedroom where she absently flipped through the books that were there.
Coming across a book about a prince, Delaney felt a sudden stab of sadness in her heart. She had been so worried her husband and Ian she hadn't given herself a chance to think back to the note and what it actually meant. What if Mason had been aboard that ship?
She thought back to the memory of the handsome man talking to her outside Win's club before she'd known who he really was. She remembered him telling them about escaping down a drainpipe and how he had made everyone laugh. When he had first arrived at the ocean house unexpected it had seemed like he would ruin their summer. Having an unpredictable Prince around everyone thought they were going to have to cater to seemed like it would be exhausting.
