[Several Days later- Vadim's childhood home]
I sighed, staring at the clouds in the sky. Mama and Papa had yet to return from their trip to Taahid. Grandma said not to worry, but I couldn't help it. Something must've gone wrong. Mama would have contacted us if they had arrived safely.
"You okay, Nora?" Grandma asked as she walked over and put something on the table in the outdoor patio.
"I'm fine, Grandma. Just a little worried."
She smiled. "They'll be back soon. You'll see. My Vadim would never let any harm come to your mother."
I nodded, but I wasn't convinced. Papa might be strong, but even he had his limits. Not to mention, Mama could be impulsive. She might do something reckless.
I looked at the plate Grandma put on the table. It was a big slice of chocolate cake, with strawberries on top. My mouth watered.
"Is that for me?" I asked, my eyes wide.
She chuckled. "Of course. Thought a princess deserves a treat."
