• Lauren walks through the hallways of Lilac Court thinking about how Carter ordered her to live in the palace in order to take care of the leopard.
• She decides to tell him that she'll obey his order but before she can, Carter calls out from behind her to tell her to get ready.
• She's surprised that Carter knows her decision before telling him.

• In Lauren's room, Carter helps by unpacking her boxes (from when she first moved in) while she finds things to pack up.

5.2

• To break the silence while they pack and unpack, Lauren observes it must have been hard for Carter to commute from the palace to Lilac Court every day to hear her daily reports on the leopard.
• Carter corrects her. It wasn't hard because he and Prince Henrik were living in the same apartment as her.
