When Tarquin showed up unannounced, Verity was in the middle of making chicken soup in her cozy kitchen.

The sight of him nearly made her drop the ladle!

It took her a moment to compose herself, before she managed a smile and asked, "Tarquin, what brings you here?"

Before Tarquin could even respond, she turned to her nanny with a frown, "You didn't think to inform me Tarquin was coming? What kind of manners is that? You're responsible for this oversight!"

The nanny, clearly flustered, replied, "Master Tarquin... I didn't have the chance to tell you."

Tarquin had barged in, and the nanny couldn't stop him or alert Verity in time.

Verity shot the nanny a dark look, prompting her to find an excuse to tidy up the yard, leaving them alone.

Quickly, Verity invited Tarquin to sit down and offered to make him some tea.

"No need, let's just talk," Tarquin said with a cold tone, settling himself on the living room couch.

Verity, her heart racing, poured two cups of chamomile tea.
