&&. just for a moment she forgets that she's actually packing her bags, heading back home to DunBroch for good. You must come home. The crown princess is too old to be playing dress-up games &&. partying at some magical island, her grandmother had stated in her latest letter, &&. Tatum could do nothing but heed the instructions. Her grandmother was right; she had to assume her responsibility as the next ruler of Dunbroch instead of lounging around &&. exploding things, the latter being purely accidental. She had sent a quick letter to Kenna about her permanent return to Dunbroch, though the thought of informing Chandler about it completely left her mind. She was only reminded a moment after her reply to his question.
“ Oh my goodness— I don't think I can. ” She's the worst friend ever, she can't even attend her own best friend's wedding. “ I — I don't think I can, Chandler. I, uh, here, I can't explain it, just read,” Tatum said, handing him the letter her grandmother had said her, the one requesting her permanent return to Dunbroch. “ Guess I have to stop playing pretend &&. assume my duty, ” she said softly.

I mean, I want to be your maid of honor, but I don't know if I'll even be here to attend your wedding. Oh my God, I'm so sorry. I'm the worst, I know, I should have told you earlier, so you could change your decision, but it completely slipped my mind— ”
“ — Chandler, I'm so sorry. I- I have to go, I have to assume responsibility. ” She paused, then wrapped her arms around him in an embrace, letting the tears she'd been holding back fall down her face. “ I'm going to miss you so, so much. ”
