Life with the Collins (11)
Alessandra held onto Edagr's arm as they entered the palace's grand hall. Now that she was inside, she was glad she made the choice to come tonight. Ignoring all the people who were looking at her and Edgar to start planning the conversations they would create to get close to their children, she liked the ball.
Each ball felt like the first one she attended at Edgar's side.
Edgar wasted no time going toward where Tobias and Hazel sat with none of their children in sight. He didn't blame the princes and princess for trying to get away from their father. If not for how secluded where Tobias stood was, Edgar would avoid the old king.
