A New York waitress has a chance encounter with a prince, and is then offered the opportunity of a lifetime! But...she doesn't have a valid passport! Is the fairytale over before it even began? Or will Jen still find her happily ever after? This is...
Jen lay on the sofa, staring into space, for a little while. There was no other word for what she was feeling right now but yearning. She'd almost felt like she was in that tent just then, and now she wished she was still there, curled up in that sleeping bag with her best friend in the world. But when she'd confessed that to him, he hadn't reacted quite the way she'd hoped.
But did it really matter if he didn't feel the same way? He still made her feel like she mattered, more than anyone else ever had since her parents had passed away. One way or another, next week, they would get to spend some time together in person. And that was a really good thing.
Of course, a week was a long time. A daydream flashed through her head in which she contemplated how long it would take her to get to Paris. She'd march into whatever posh party they were all at tomorrow, give Bertrand a piece of her mind, then she'd head round Savannah's and do the same to her. But then she remembered that she didn't know whereabouts in Paris they all were, and she didn't know where Savannah lived, and if she was honest, she was a little bit nervous about seeing Maxwell again.
They were so close now it was as if they'd known each other forever, but their friendship had been forged entirely over the medium of their mobile phones. She didn't even know if they'd click with each other in real life. She very much wanted the opportunity to find out, but she was frightened of how she would feel if it didn't. Plus there was the whole Rick complication.
I don't want to be a King's mistress.
Trouble is, what do I want?

What sort of Franglais is this, she pondered, smiling fondly.
