22 Chapter 22. Apologies

PROSE MODE.

Seth was headed to his department for his first lecture to kick off the new semester.

"Your highness."

He turned to see a familiar face.

"Yona, right?"

"Yes."

"You're close to Mel, so just call me Seth."

"Can I talk to you for a minute?"

Seth tried to conjecture a few reasons why his girlfriend's best friend would want to talk to him. He couldn't come up with anything noteworthy.

They stepped out of the hallways to the less crowded patio. Everyone was heading for one lecture or another so their privacy was pretty much guaranteed.

"Thanks for taking care of Mel for me. I'm happy that she met someone like you."

Seth took that as an opportunity to smile. Is that all she wanted to say? She really cares about Melody coming all the way to meet him just to say thank you for him being a good boyfriend to her friend.

"I know you mean well but I also feel like you're not patient enough with her."
