Humph come on Maddie, get mad he's lied and manipulated. He plays mind games. GET. MAD. Let him know any hope he has of gaining trust or affection is now gone. (Or at least 10x harder, but we don't need to tell him that. Right all mighty author, right?) Tell him he's lost. All he can get is a shell, the heart and soul will not have him. Ok, you may not be there yet, but this is where following the letter of the rules, and being exceedingly formal, with monosyllabic answers and acting as though you have no idea <innocently blinks eyes> why he is upset as she's doing EXACTLY what he said how he said.
I can now imagine the chaos inside Maddie's mind. She had escaped the stranger's advances only to end up being caught by Calhoun. Will she thank the circumstances? 😆 But hey, the stranger's kiss disgust her but not the king's? Hmm, interesting.. and much to my surprise, Calhoun didn't use Maddox to find her but he personally went out his way. Brace urself dear Madeline.. 🤞🏻
