Okay, this is my FIRST princess and the frog story.. gonna try it out.
A few weeks into their opening of the resturant, Naveen was called home to Maldonia for some reason. Tiana had her hands full with her husband absent. She tried having Charlotte help out, but she ended up cooking and waiting on people. Closing the joint that night then heading up to the empty loft above the resturant, they had decided to turn the upper level into their own apartment, was eriely quiet. She missed his heavily accented voice complaining about his feet hurting or that he felt tired. She lay on the bed still in her clothes and just stayed completely still. She wondered if Naveen was coming back soon. She never knew she could miss him this much.
"Ray, Evangeline?" She pleaded to the two stars shining high above New Orleans. "please keep an eye on him."
Early the next morning as she awoke and went down to get the morning paper she found a timid looking man dressed in regal colors at her door. She almost feared the worst, remembering the man dressed in military form that came when her father died in the war.
"Princess Tiana?" He asked.
She didn't like being called "princess" but answered non the less.
"I am here to make sure this letter only reaches your hands." He pushed a thin envelope into her delicate fingers. He then bowed and was apparently awaiting her to open it.
She ripped it open carefully noting his worried look as she watched out not to rip the corners. She pulled out a piece of paper that read;
" Tiana,
I wanted to write you sooner but pressing matters have come up here. My father has taken rather ill and requests you come as soon as possible. I will explain everything once you are here. Please do bring some of your beignets.
All my love, Naveen."
She shook the envelope and then two tickets fell out. Boat tickets, to Maldonia.
