Chapter 24

A glint flashed in Charles‘ eyes as his gaze landed on Hoelle’s face. He had noticed how much she liked it, but what she said sounded like the completely opposite of what she felt!

His gaze traveled across her face as he said, “Alright, then. What about something from Edgar Degas? Or perhaps this fountain pen?”

Charles recommended several items to Hoelle, and she decided to purchase the pen. Samuel enjoyed calligraphy, and he was good at it too. Gifting him a pen seemed like a smart move, and it was probably the least expensive of all the antiques she had looked at today.
