When Jamie entered in the bedroom, he saw Lottie curled in bed. He sighed and sat on the bed, touching her back softly.

-Baby?

She opened her eyes and, sitting up, she turned around to face him.

-Jamie!

She sat in his lap. 

-I thought you won't come back...

He kissed her head.

-Of course I was gonna come back, princess. I'll never leave you again, I promise.

She looked at him. He smiled and kissed her.

-I'll be right back.

He laid her down on the bed, putting the covers over her. He kissed her and walked to the door but she asked:

-Where are you going?

He turned around to look at her and smiled.

-I just need to talk with Ellie, baby.

-Don't leave me alone...

He sighed, and walked over to the bed, taking her in his arms again.

-What are you scared of, baby?

-Ingrid...

-She can't get in here.

-But what if she does?

-Then I'll be here to protect you.

He decided to stay with her since she was too scared to be alone.

-I guess I'll just call Ellie.

She smiled and kissed his cheek.

-I need to change my clothes...

He smirked. When she saw the look on his face she slapped his arm playfully.

-Babe!

He laughed.

-I'm just kidding, princess. I'll turn around so you can change, yeah?

-Mhm...

He kissed her and laid in bed, his back facing her. After 2 minutes she laid in bed.

-Are you done, baby?

-Yeah...

Her voice sounded like she was falling asleep. He chuckled lightly and turned around, putting his arm around her waist. She moved a bit.

-Shh, it's ok, baby, go to sleep.

After he was sure she was asleep, he took out his phone calling Ellie.

-Jamie, are you ok?

-Yeah, don't worry, I'm fine. I'm with Lottie now.

-What did Ingrid want?

-She told me that if I don't help them take over Maradova, they'll kill Lottie.

-WHAT?

-We need to talk to your parents.

-When?

-Tomorrow. We need to be prepared for their attack.

-Ok...Lottie knows about this?

-No. I don't want her to know. We'll keep her out of this.

-Ok...

After he ended the call, he kissed Lottie's forehead and falled asleep.
