Next morning I woke up with Esmée looking down at me with Wolf in her hand."We thought we'd wake you up."I nodded."Good morning."I got Wolf in my hands."Good morning,Wolf."
"I told your father that I got him for you.So he would let you keep him."I nodded."Thanks.Can you call Pierre here?"She nodded."But why?"I sighed."Please,do."
Pierre came about five minutes after she left."Mistress Reine."I sighed."I just wanted to apologize for the way I've treated you,recently.I just...I need my father not to know.I don't need people to feel the way I made you feel."
"No lie,it was kind of fun.Sneaking in,taking pictures and all.Kind of like a secret mission.It was like those times when I was in the police academy.I miss the times I was a cop."
"Well,that's kind of why I called you here.To apologize.I'd appreciate it if you kept it all to yourself but I won't mention that thing to anyone.I wouldn't do that to you,Pierre."
"Yeah,I know.I've known you since you were a little kid.A baby,even."I smiled and nodded."Yeah.Just like Esmée.Well,you should go.I think I still have a live interview to attend to apologize publicly for last night's video."
"I'll get the car ready."I nodded."Thanks."Pierre left and I turned to my closet.After taking a shower,I wore the outfit I had laid on my bed before I went in.
I wore a cream,long-sleeves,turtleneck sweather.Put the ends of it under my black and white plaided,high-waisted skirt.Wore the skirt's matching blazer before I put on my grey thigh high boots with 5 inch heels.
I came out of my room and Joe was waiting."Tell them it was me.Don't do this.You didn't go to the press,I did.""That's cute,Joe.But I'm not getting you involved in this.My mess,I need to fix it."
I sat down in the car and Pierre drove me to the studio for the interview.How wonderful,the journalist is Nadine.Again!I walked in and after powdering me for the cameras and the light,I sat down on the armchair in front of Nadine's.
"We are here with Lady Reine Allard here.Yesterday you shared a video with the press.And you said you were sorry about it and wanted to be here.But I have a different question for you."
"I am curious about your question,Nadine,I really am.However,I have to be clear about one thing.I'm sorry for one thing.And that is the feeling I made Mrs.Gomard feel when I told the truth.Even though me and Mr.Gomard didn't end on best terms,I loved his mother.I still do."
"So you are not sorry about anything besides that?"I shook my head."No.I probably should be for putting that truth on them all at once but I don't.I did not make Mr.Gomard lie and I don't consider myself the guilty side in this story."
"About my question.I'm still kind of hung up on the Fall Ball.That dance with Mr.Chevalier...You have never danced with anyone besides family through out the years.Why?"
"To be honest with you,Nadine,through out those years,the only people I knew around my age was my close friend Aceline Davignon.Dancing with my little brother has always been enjoyable."
