"It wouldn’t be my first choice," Brenna ad fourth birthday thing with his fauess It’s just… shouldn’t he have talked to me about it? I’m Danny’s mother"

"Rafael is his father" Brenna rolled her eyes "I really hate taking the guy’s side against a woman, especiallyover nothing It’s a pony It’s not like he bought hiuess Danny already has that"

"Okay, then strippers That would have been a gift to get crabby about Fas Grandpa Lorenzo h I was the only one interested It happens Don’t worry about it Danny is a prince, which is just too weird Don’t all princes need to learn how to ride? Isn’t it in the prince handbook?"

"Probably I should Google hiain"

"Rafael?" Brenna asked

Mia walked to the desk and sat in the large chair across from Brenna’s "Yeah I did it once and I was overwhelot depressing"

"Mia, you’re gorgeous and sh-society rich bitch he ht meet at some charity event"

"You don’t actually know that"

"Of course I do He fell for you years ago and noants to marry you Doesn’t that mean you win?"

Mia rubbed her te this conversation I can’t believe Danny is a prince"

"It’s a little too late to take back Rafael as his father You should have thought of that before you did the wild thing"

"Who kneould coo was really Crown Prince Rafael in disguise? My life is a soap opera"

Mia looked at her sister and drew in a breath "I said yes"

Brenna stared at her "To his proposal?"

Mia nodded "Last night I can’t face anything huge or cereas after Danny’s birthday"

Brenna stood and clapped her hands together "I don’t knohat to say My baby sister, the queen"

Mia stood and they hugged When Brenna released her, Mia asked, "Aht? Are you happy?"

"I was until the pony"

"It’s not" Mia sank back into her chair "I haven’t been with anyone since him I… Katie said I had never fallen out of love with hireed with at the tiht I have feelings for hiuy I like how he is with Danny and les"

"So what’s not to like?" Brenna asked

"That’s what I keep thinking So I said I’d e yourto know the guy you’re going to rule with"

Mia groaned "When I think about being with Rafael I get butterflies, but when I think about actually ruling a country, I want to voh and I know I’d hate it She’s just the president’s daughter"

Brenna sat on the edge of her desk "If you’re this unsure, then put things off for a while No one is saying you have to marry him"

Mia smiled "But I want to Isn’t that dumb? I want to marry him I want to know that for the rest of our lives, we’ll be together"

"So if Rafael were just a regular guy, you wouldn’t have a problem with this"

Mia considered the statement "Apparently not"

"In this case, the crown couy Can you handle that?"

"I sort of have to Otherwise, I let Rafael go, and I can’t iht he died, I didn’t want to livethat got ain But the ood ways or bad ways?"

"Both I liked that Diego wasn’t a world-renowned sex object Plus I have such lousy taste in men Seriously, Brenna, do you kno badly I could be screwing this up?"

"He’s a prince, Mia How bad could it be?"
