The meeting was uneventful in AJ's words. They were talking all about the monarchy. 'God I hate aristocrats!' AJ thought scowling slightly. She quickly replaced it with a smile when anyone looked her way. Then the subject of Les Joyaux Cachés came up. Suddenly, the mention of how much money for James' capture came up. AJ staggered back in horror. Her James. His head. A bounty. And then everything went black.

When she regained her consciousness, she glanced around. It wasn't the meeting room. Her eyes flooded with recognition when she saw a worried James peering down at her. She smiled weakly. 'So he does care' she thought, staring longingly into his eyes. Frantically, Antonio rushed over to make sure his friend was okay.

"Oh my goodness! AJ! AJ! Are you okay? You fainted! Are you okay?". Both James and AJ laughed at this.

"I'm fine Antonio, don't worry," AJ shrugged off. 'Better that James is here' she thought smiling to herself.

"Well, you should be thanking James AJ. He went full panic mode when Antonio carried you in. He never left your side," Adonis called from the other side of the room.

James flushed red. Bright red. AJ recognized the colour. It was the same colour of her face whenever Antonio had mentioned James when they were in private. Then she smiled. 'If it only wasn't for Ariana' she thought. The night was filled with the boys joking on, singing and dancing.
