Disclaimer: Only Lucie and Isobel and Echoes are mine! Short chapter but
after the last one do you want loads?

The next afternoon Lucie stood pacing up and down in Michaels room as he worked out which numbers he was going to perform. "Lucie! Will you stop pacing the room? You're making me dizzy!" he shouted, finally sick of watching her walk around the room. "Michael. Why didn't you tell me? I wouldn't have accepted this if I'd known," said Lucie. "Luce Mia probably knows I'm Solo, she probably won't turn up at all. Besides it's not everyday you get to perform for one of the most prestigious royal families in Europe." With that he picked up the guitar and began to play Echoes again. When he got towards the end of the song he was so engrossed he started singing, unaware that Lucie had stopped walking around and was listening to the end of the song.
Maybe if I fight the battle one more time
I can win the place by your side
For I miss your whispers in my ear.
Sick of hearing echoes that aren't there.
I hear you laughter on the wind
I hear your sighing through the trees
I hear your chatter in the tides
Advancing on the shore.
But I open up my eyes
It doesn't take that long to realise
The noises on the wind and air
Are echoes that aren't there.
He looked at his watch. "What time am I meant to be performing?" he asked. Lucie checked the ornate wall clock "You've got two hours until dinner - we have to eat with the royal family. And then the concert." He smiled to himself. "I think I'll go for a walk." He left the room and headed back to the palace gardens once more. He looked around; there was royalty everywhere, but thankfully no sign of Mia. Once again Isobel crept up behind him. "She's not here." She whispered. He knew it would be no point pretending. "Is she coming?" he asked. "I don't know. I'm not in charge of he guest list. He blinked and when his eyes opened again she was gone. She'd vanished as quickly as she'd appeared.
