CHAPTER 26. RINGS AND CHILDREN
the Duke still not on the same page about children?" I ask Daphne as I stand next to her.
"No." She tells me, sighing.
"I am sorry, Sister." I tell her. "But I know, you will work it out."
"I hope you are right, Diana." She replies, as I give her a small smile.
"I know, I am., Daph." I tell her.
"Anyway, enough about the Duke and I." She tells me. "What about you and the Prince? When shall we expect to hear the good news?"
"Oh, no." I tell her, laughing. "The Prince and I agree, that we are far too young for children."
"You do not want children?" Daphne asks, surprised.
"Being a Mother, and taking care of a house, that's you Daph." I tell her. "I want to live in the moment, and not feel such big responsibility on my shoulders."
"So, you are never going to have children of your own?" She asks.
"I will." I tell her. "Just not yet."
"Well, then, I wish you enjoy your freedom." She replies, giving me a smile, which I return.
as he comes to stand by me side. "Let's sneak out of here."
"It is my Sister's ball." I tell him, in disbelief.
"And?" He asks.
"And, it is terribly boring." I complete, letting out a heavy breath. "Who would have thought, that these ball could be so boring when you are not looking for a husband."
"We could get out." He tells me. "Nobody will know."
"You are the Prince of the United Nation." I tell him. "I have a feeling people will know."
"Let me try again." He replies. "Do we care, if people know?"

He offers me his hand. I look at it, and then up at him, as he raises his eyebrow. I smile, and take his hand.
"No, we do not." I say, as I let him drag me out of the Hastings house.
a stop, as we were walking around the grounds behind the Hastings house, away from the prying eyes of the ton.
"I have something for you." He tells me, as I turn to him. He goes through his pocket, and pulls out two rings. He gives them to me, and I pick them up to see, one of them had a letter 'D' on it, and the other had the letter 'L' on it. "My Mother had one made for me." He tells me his hand, where where tow rings, with the same letters as the one's in my hands. "I got the other three, made.
"That is the sweetest thing." I tell him, as huge grin on my face, as I give him a kiss.
"Well, put them on." He encourages me, as we pull away.
I laugh, as I pull both the rings on the ring finger on my right hand.
I pull him into a kiss, as we both smile.
I feel a drop of water, fall onto my cheek, and we break apart, looking up as the rain starts. I laugh, as the rain falls down, and Louis looks at me with a grin.
"Oh, this is the perfect day." I say, and he pulls me up by my waist, and spins me around, as we both laugh.
If there is to ever be a grander finish to a season than the one provided by the Duke and Duchess of Hastings this year, this author will need to feast upon her own words. For it was this couple's memorable affair that brought another scandalous London season to a close. As many now leave the city behind for greener pastures, some endings seem more permanent than others. Of course, there are other endings that will offer new beginnings... however uncertain those new beginnings might be.

And yet... there is no ending in sight for this author, who recently became aware of a scheme to unmask her... by one worthy opponent, indeed. Perhaps I will come forward one day. Though, you must know, dear reader, the decision shall be left entirely up to me. Yours truly, Lady Whistledown.

Solace Laurent and Sage Reyes never got along. They fought and competed over everything, whether it was grades or afterschool clubs. She hated his arrogant, I-don't-care-about-the-rules behaviour and he loved to annoy her. Not one day went by in high school when an argument didn't break out until he disappeared without a trace. Solace, along with Sage's family and the entire school, thought he was dead. After months of criminal investigations, search parties, and missing persons posters, he was nowhere to be found. But what happens when Sage shows up at her doorsteps in the middle of the night, bruised and bloody?***"Sage?" whispered Solace in utter shock. He smirked at her as he leaned against the doorframe, looking her up and down from her blue penguin pajamas to her oversized t-shirt until he met her eyes. She felt a rush of emotions when she heard his voice after six months. It was the same: deep, unbothered, and familiar. "Solace Laurent, I need your help."

8 182Creature Feature: InGen Hybrids
The fossil record is obviously incomplete, which means InGen's experiments with the hybridisation of various prehistoric creatures are probably not over. With that in mind, this guide is likely incomplete. But if you're writing Jurassic Park or Jurassic World fanfiction, or stories told within that pretty awesome universe, then any of the creatures found in these fair pages should be considered entirely canon!
