AUTHOR NOTE: The first forty chapters are written in various points of view but often from a male perspective. This is story is a primarily female voiced story. After chapter 44 the split is about 90/10 female to male. The story arc demanded that the male characters are well fleshed out because most of the rest of the story is about the lead female and her story arc. I hope that helps to answer some questions.
It was a bright and sunny day with blue skies as far as the eye could see. Nicholas had declared at breakfast that they should have a beach day today. He said it would be a great way to start their date night.
Scott and Nicholas had started having breakfast with her each day since the king's visit a few days earlier. Actually, at least one of them was always with Ana the last few days. She was starting to get used to it.
At first, she and the siblings had toned down their antics. They felt awkward around the other two men but after several days of general amusement and sometime full hilarity they were back to hamming it up. Nicholas and Scott had seemed surprised at how casual Melissa and Lucas were with Ana.
Ana could understand that as she would soon officially be their queen. However, here at the Queen's Manor outside Bristol she was just Ana. They were her friends, and she was theirs. They could be as ridiculous as they wanted to be here.
