Hello Munchies! 

I hope you all are doing well :)

I'm going to update tomorrow too so be on the look out 😉😉

Aspen's POV

All of a sudden my phone began ringing, pulling me from my thoughts. 

"Hello?" 

"Aspen! How are you?" Katia's voice came through the line.

"Hey! I'm good, how is going over there?" 

"Girl, you are amaaazing," she sang, excitement clear in her voice. 

"Oh really?" I chuckled, imagining the bright smile on her face. 

"I don't know how you do it." 

"Do what?" I asked, my brows furrowing in confusion. 

"The UK US agreement?" 

"The what now?" I asked, my mouth dropping open in shock. 

"You haven't heard?" 

"No! Tell me!" 

"King Macallister has agreed to meet with the President and the UN council to get aid into the country."

I felt my heart drop to my stomach, my mouth falling open in shock. 

"I-What?"

"Yeah! Who knows, I might be able to fly over to you."

"Uh yeah, not a very good idea.  I feel like I'm losing my fucking mind," I mumbled. 

"Sorry I didn't hear you," Katia piped up. 

"Oh nothing, sorry."

"Oh."

It was silent for a moment before I spoke up.

"Katia, is everything alright?"

"Huh? Yeah of course, why would anything be wrong?" she asked, her voice going an octave higher. 

"Are you sure, because I really hope you're not lying to me."

"Of course not, look I uh, I gotta go. Stay safe," K

"Alright, stay safe Aspen."

I stared at my phone as the beeping of the call hanging up echoed through the room. 

Well shit.  

I decided now was a good time to get some work done so I got comfortable on my bed. 

Only to have someone try to use a fucking battering ram to open my door. 

"Calm your tits, I'm coming!"

Swinging the door open, I found myself face to face with Connor who hid a sly smile. 

"Really? was that necessary?"

"I thought you wouldn't hear me," he shrugged. 

"Are you calling me deaf?" I asked, narrowing my eyes at him. 

He cleared his throat, looking away. 

"I hate it when you do that," he muttered. 

"Do what?"

"That squinty eye stare."

"The what?"

"Nevermind. The Queen would like to see you."

The who want's to see me?

My eyeballs almost fell out as I realized what Connor said. 

I groaned as soon as I closed the door.
