Chapter 23: A.E. Part 3

　　We stayed for a week; one long week with me hiding away as I tried to keep everything hidden. The feelings that I had for Louis just seemed to keep growing, but I know that it would be impossible. He had a mate out there waiting on him, a woman who was perfect for him and would help govern by his side fairly. 　　When Louis finally passed the word that we were heading back home, I was just about to go crazy. I decided that what I really needed was a long, hard, workout and then a heavy workload to keep my mind busy with something else.Once we were on the plane, I sat with Rivers, ignoring the glances from Henry and Louis when I didn't take my seat between them. The flight back seemed longer than it had just a week ago. 　　I lost count of how many times during the flight that my eyes started to look towards Louis. I would force them away or close them, hoping for sleep that I knew wouldn't come. Once in a while, Louis's voice would reach me, soothing my nerves.
