“Surely there is something better to discuss,” he replied.
“Last time I saw the two of you together, she was on your lap and you were loved up.”
“What about Ambra?”
“Okay, you win. Let us not discuss her.”
Joshua laughed. “Why not?” he asked even though he knew why.
“Let us enjoy this meal,” James said and shoved a fork full of salad in his mouth. Joshua smiled and shook his head.
“You give me so much grief for not wanting to settle down but you have not settled down either,” Joshua admonished.
“I am not as against it as you are.”
“If you say so.”
James laughed and the subject quickly changed. The two of them enjoyed the rest of the meal together before they headed off their separate ways. James had personal matters to attend to, and Joshua headed back to his hotel room.
Chapter 11
Muna and Maria surprised Rene by taking her for a walk in the palace gardens. They wanted to cheer her up and it worked. The gardens were huge, and filled with every imaginable flower. There was a small waterfall and butterflies fluttered from place to place. The grass was so green and neatly cut that Rene thought it had to be fake. It was the perfect place to relax.
“This place is unreal! I feel like I walked into paradise,” Rene said.
The two maids laughed. “We thought this would help you relax,” Muna said.
“Thank you both for thinking of me.”
“You are welcome.”
“How is it possible that there is a waterfall here?”
“It was actually put in three years ago.”
“This is gorgeous. I love it.” Rene rushed over to the waterfall and dipped her hand in the cool water. She wanted to jump in and swim but with palace guards patrolling and the potential for the queen to walk by, she decided against it. Rene hated the lack of privacy in the palace.
“It was my idea to build the waterfall,” Rene heard a voice from behind her. She recognised the elegant, crisp tone immediately. She turned to see the queen sitting on a large boulder hidden between some bushes. Rene wished she had seen her beforehand. If she had, she would have run before she was seen. Rene bowed her head to her.
“It's truly beautiful,” Rene said to her. The queen stood up and approached.
“Yes, it is.” The queen studied her for a moment while Rene rubbed the back of her neck, trying to think of something to say. Her gaze was not a friendly one. She did not know what the queen would ask her. Rene was not happy with Joshua leaving, but it was not the right time to discuss him.
“Well, I shall take my leave. Please stay and enjoy the garden. It is quite peaceful,” the queen said to her before walking off. Rene bowed her head as she left and sighed with relief when she was gone.
“I thought she would question me some more,” Rene said to her maids.
“So did we,” Maria replied.
Rene wondered why she had left so quickly. If positions were reversed, her mother would be questioning Joshua any chance she had and he did not stand a chance around Tanya, she thought as she smiled to herself. Shaking her head, “Let's go see the rest of this place.”

Rene stepped out of her shower for the second time that day. She loved the shower here, there were multiple sprayers that massaged her body and she loved all the different lotions and shampoos. She towel dried herself off and slipped on her purple silk robe before padding into her bedroom.
She fell back on the big plush bed and contemplated moisturising. Before she could even come to a conclusion, she heard her bedroom door open. She quickly turned to see who it was. Her eyes flew open when she saw Joshua standing in the doorway. Suddenly she was overwhelmed with emotion as their eyes met.
“Joshua,” Rene said as she stood up. “What are you doing here?”
She was surprised to see him back so soon, especially after how they had
