In Charleston, Charlotte held her brand-new phone, her smile looking mysterious.

'So, it's Lucy? Now I get it. She's the lost princess of the royals.

'But don't you worry, sweetheart. I won't let you waltz back into the palace.'

Charlotte had shadows in her eyes, a sign she had been holding a grudge against Lucy for ages. They had never even met and did not even know what the other was like, but because of clashing interests, Charlotte was itching to get Lucy out of the picture.
