My heart fell. I have a feeling I'm not going to like what he has to say and I do not want to hear it.
"I am Prince Henry. The Prince Henry. Nolan's cousin."
There it was. I froze in shock.
"Anna, I'm so sorry."

"Any other thing I need to know?" I ask.
He walks over and cradles my face in his hands. I close my eyes, my emotions all over the place.
He hugs me and says, "I've always loved you."
The tears fell and sobs racked through me.
"I guess it's a little too late for that. Right?" He lets out a small laugh as he asks.
He hugs me tighter.
Too late.
