"Miss Montgomery, have you had breakfast?" Cameron asked, noticing that Aurora's spirits had been low for the past few days.

"Has she been upset these past few days?" Asher frowned.

"Yes, Miss Montgomery probably argued with Mr. Barnet, she didn't eat breakfast today," Cameron replied truthfully.
