~{DEBORAH'S POV}~
*
"Queen Deborah."
Someone called out to me as I was about to take a turn and I paused to see who it was just to find Lauren coming up to me.
I had stepped out of my room with the hopes of finding my husband and not this person.
'Try to be level-minded,' my brain advised and I gave an innocent look as I waited for him to come to me.
On arrival, I found him smiling and closely observing me.
"It has been quite some time, hasn't it?" He asked.
"It has," I calmly answered without looking ruffled.
"Shall we have a chat?" He proceeded to ask and I fully faced him since my body had been slightly turned in the direction I had intended to take.
"I do not have the time to chat," I answered.
"Come on, Deborah. Don't be like this. At least for the sake of what we had," he said and I nearly lost it but didn't.
