Hey everyone!

I just wanted to give a shoutout to the amazing creators of the show that inspired this story. They brought these incredible characters to life, and I can't take any credit for that! The only characters I own are Anastasia and Prince Andreas Konstantin Romanov, and I've loved every minute of writing about them.

I hope you enjoy the story as much as I enjoyed writing it!
