She sent him a glare, walking outside.

Callen followed.

Cole followed them closely so they couldnt run off again. "By the way better get your stories straight now. And Dads kind of pissed, Cal."

" the worse my parents will do is hit me. Or lock me in the closet. Again. Ill be fine. " she said.

Callen sputtered. "What?!"

Cole narrowed his eyes. "Ok, hold up. What?"

She looked back at them. " What? "

"No offense but-" callen starte told say but Cole interupted.

"You're basically saying your parents are abusing you
. You realize hat most non-royals consider hitting or blocking people in closets as abuse right?"

" Yes. But no one would believe me anyway. They appear to be loving and kind and caring in public. "

"Oh great. I get abusive parent-in-laws." Callen groaned."Why is it always the people who look like angels that act like monsters?"


Cole rolled his eyes upwards. "Now you know why I hate royal life."

"....You literally were begging Dad to let you stay...."

"Shush it, Callen."

" they probably would never hit you. " she paused. " probably. "

"Probably isn't reassuring." Callen told her. "I prefer precentages."

"Your percentage of dying is only 2%." Cole volunteered.

Callen faux-pouted. "C'mon, gimme a break at least!"

"Fine. 5%."
