Ella POV

By the time we arrived at the restaurant, I felt almost sick with anxiety over the conversation I’d have to have with Alexander.

I couldn’t even imagine one of my parents speaking about me with the level of suspicion that Diana showed toward Alexander. The thought alone was enough to leave me heartbroken on his behalf.

“Surprisingly well,” I replied, offering him a small smile despite the turmoil in my mind.
