Chapter 213
Poppy
For the next two days, it's group work.
Which, really, is just group sightseeing.
And for me? It's being the unfortunate third wheel, watching Daphne openly flirt with Nima from sunrise to sunset.
The touches. The comments. The way Daphne makes her laugh just to see that shy little smile.
It's exhausting.
But I can't lie—being near Daphne Nyxclaw means I get to enjoy privileges I've never even dreamed of. Private shade when the sun is too hot, attendants carrying chilled drinks to wherever she stops, meals at the kind of places that would normally turn someone like me away at the door.
It makes me sad.
Felix is royalty now. Surely even he could… I don't know… do something small. It doesn't have to be as grand as what Daphne does for Nima. Just something that says you matter or I'm thinking about you.
How can he have time for you? a voice in my head asks. He already has four other girls.
