    “I’ve been trying to put myself back together, and Maxon really cares about me. You mean so much to me, you know you do. But I’m part of this now, and I’d be stupid to not let myself see what happens.”

    “So you’re choosing him over me?” he asked miserably.

    “No, I’m not choosing him or you. I’m choosing me.”

    Particularly three days later when Olivia announced to the half-full Women’s Room that Maxon had kissed her.
    I couldn’t believe how shattered I felt. I caught myself looking at Olivia and wondering what was so special about her

    boyfriend. I know what you’ve gone through and that you’re not exactly here under the normal circumstances. I know you think there are others here more suited for me and this life, and I wouldn’t want you to rush into trying to be happy with any of this. I just. . . I just want to know if it’s possible. . .”
    It was a hard question to answer. Would I be willing to live a life I’d never wanted? Would I be willing to watch as he kindly tried to date the others to be sure he wasn’t making a mistake? Would I be willing to take on the responsibility that he had as a prince? Would I be willing to love him?
    “Yes, Maxon,” I whispered. “It’s possible

    “No, I don’t suppose you can,” he breathed.
    With his hand holding my face toward his, Maxon lowered his lips to mine and gave me the faintest whisper of a kiss.
    Something about the tentativeness of it made me feel beautiful. Without a word, I could understand how excited he was to have this moment, but then afraid at the same time. And deeper than any of that, I sensed that he adored me.
    So this was what it felt like to be a lady.
    After a moment, he pulled back and asked, “Was that better?”
    I could only nod. Maxon looked like he was on the verge of doing a backflip. There was a similar feeling in my chest. That was so unexpected. This was all too quick, too strange. The confusion must have shown on my face, because Maxon got serious

    “Speaking of which!” he said a bit louder. “If you don’t want me to be in love with you, you’re going to have to stop looking so lovely. First thing tomorrow I’m having your maids sew some potato sacks together for you.”
    I hit his arm. “Shut up, Maxon

    “We talk to all the other maids, miss. We hear a lot of things,” Anne began. “We know that you and Lady Janelle are the only two who got more than one date with His Majesty, and from what we understand, there might be a link between you two.”
    “How so?” I asked.
    “From what we’ve heard,” Anne continued, “the reason she was asked to leave is because she said some rather unkind things about you. The prince did not agree and dismissed her immediately

    He pulled me back in, and I rested my head on his broad shoulder. I knew Maxon would keep his promises. So I settled into perhaps the last place I ever thought I’d find genuine comfort

    “America, I promise you I’ll keep you here until the last possible moment. I understand that they want me to narrow the Elite down to three and then choose. But I swear to you, I’ll make it to two and keep you here until then. I won’t make you leave a moment before I have to. Or the moment you’re ready. Whichever comes first.”
    I nodded

    I felt so drained after the long day of dressing and the Report and dinner and talking. It was nice to have Maxon just hold me, sometimes even patting my hair. He wasn’t as lost as he seemed. He patiently waited for my breathing to slow, and when it did, he pulled back to look at me

    der, he leaned in and tentatively wrapped his arms around me.
    “I only really ever hug my mother. Is this okay?” he asked.
    I laughed. “It’s hard to get a hug wrong.”
    After a minute, I spoke again. “I know what you mean, though. I don’t really hug anyone besides my family
