Lola wants to see the gardens, so we leave Helga and Nellie to unpack Lola’s things and we make our way outside. Kane insists I have guards with me at all times so we have two guards following behind us, far enough to give us some privacy but always in sight. I bring Lola to the rose garden. I haven’t avoided the place even after that time Opal and her friends tried to attack me there.

I refuse to let Opal and her ilk drive me away from things I enjoy. The rose garden is a truly beautiful place, and I will continue to visit it. I warn Lola...
