The Unshackled Queen: Never Say Never

“How could I fault her? I’ve long known Lydia’s ways.

It’s been too long since I Last saw her and I’ve missed her greatly.

”

“By the way, Lydia,” Alick said as he set down his utensils.

“There’s a college class reunion today.

Would you like to come along?

It’s being held at my bar.

”

Lydia began to voice her dissent but, before she could, Jaylin interjected on her behalf.

“Yes, she should attend.

It’s been quite a while since you all caught up.

Going out and reconnecting would be a good idea.

”

With a stern glance, Jaylin directed Lydia.

“After breakfast, head upstairs to change and accompany Alick!”

Lydia gripped her knife and fork firmly and declared, “Very well, I won’t eat.

Please, enjoy your meal.

I’m heading upstairs.

”

With that, she rose from her seat and ascended the staircase.

“You…”

Lydia pressed forward, ignoring them.

“In that case, don’t go.

I’ll come to pick you up later.

”

Aware of Alick’s dubious character, Lydia resisted Hannah’s offer, saying, “If I leave with you, he’ll undoubtedly inform my father and then I’ll be inescapably pestered.

She then reassured her friend.

“Don’t fret.

I won’t let myself be outwitted this time.

If he tries to disgrace me, I’ll make a scene at the reunion!”

Hannah remained somewhat concerned.

“Where’s the gathering taking place? Send me the address when you get there.

”

Lydia responded, “Alick mentioned that it’s going down at the bar he manages, the same place you visited before to rescue me.

”

Upon hearing this, Hannah instructed, “Alright.

Be cautious today.

Call me if anything goes wrong.

”

As soon as Lydia ended the call, a knock echoed at her door.
