His muscular build, his bright hair, his disheveled clothing, how depressed he was…he just seemed so attractive. But she couldn’t just tell him that. Definitely not. That would be taboo. But she still approached his table and dropped her necklace—golden, with a diamond on the end—under it. “Excuse me, sir,” she said. “I am looking for a necklace that I accidentally dropped. I think it rolled under your table, but I cannot bend over with how big this dress is,” Aubrey gestured to the large poofy thing covering her legs, “could you please pick it up for me?” Lord Owen Alford checked under the table, brushing the red curls off his forehead. Really. Women need different fashion. Just... wear trousers. It's so much easier. He immediately saw the necklace. He grabbed it, and came up from under the table. "Here you are, m'lady." He says, handing it to her. He looks up at her face and freezes. This lady was... well, beautiful. "Uh..." Say something say something... "Hi." NOT THAT!

I went up there once, with my father when my mother was away, visiting her family back in Hapsburg. She would never have let me, she would think that it was ‘too much excitement for a young girl!’ But it wasn’t, wasn’t at all. No, I had a wonderful trip there. It is just a wonderful country, so wonderful. Very cold.”
