(IN EDITING) Hi. I'm Nicole Miller and I've been in foster care since I was born seventeen years ago. I've moved around a lot to say the least. Over the years I've been used, abused, and sexually harassed by my various foster parents. Now, I'm moving again. I never know quite what to expect. All I know about this new family is that their last name is Styles, or something along those lines. For some reason my caseworker really thinks I'll like these people. And I really hope she's right.

"Everyone please rise and applause for your new Prince and Princess!" Harry squeezed my hand tight and put up his right hand to wave to the crowd of people beneath our castle. I kept my tears back and waved to them too. I looked at him, his grin wide and the crown on his head shining, he seemed so happy... why aren't I? © stylesrunsme 2013 This story is rated R for Restricted.

He meets Cadence in the most unexpected events. He brings Cadence with him through his own journey. Although he doesn't know that she's a royal, a princess, a satisfaction.
