At Blackwood Estate,

Lady Blackwood sat on the sofa in the living room, leafing through a stack of photographs while mumbling to herself: “The Montgomery girl has such elegant poise, and the younger Window daughter looks quite charming, And there’s Ravena Harrington who just completed her Master’s at Cambridge–has such a scholarly air about her. I rather like her as well.”

The elderly lady looked up at Asher with a smile. “Asher, dear, do have a look at these photographs. See if any of them catch your eye,”

Asher’s eyes were distant, his thoughts elsewhere.

He had just briefly caught Thalia’s gaze in the garden. Her complexion had looked terribly poor, her lips completely drained of colour. Was she ill?

“Asher,” Lady Blackwood raised her voice, the smile fading from her face. “Your grandmother is speaking to you What on earth are you daydreaming about?”

Asher pulled himself back to the present and looked up. “I beg your pardon?”

Lady Blackwood set down the photographs, clearly displeased. She adjusted her silk shawl and spoke deliberately. “Ravena Harrington just completed her Master’s. I met the girl a few days ago–she’s gentle–natured and quite pretty. The day after tomorrow, you and your mother should pay a visit to the Harringtons. You ought to spend some time getting to know Ravena.”

Asher sat on the sofa, his eyes darkening. “I’m afraid I’m otherwise engaged.”

Lady Blackwood frowned, giving him a stern look. “Too busy even during the holiday?”

“You’ve worked all year. Take a few days off for yourself during the holiday, and do as you’re told. Go with your mother to see the Harringtons.”

Grace, hearing this talk of matchmaking, felt distinctly uncomfortable.

They had barely broken off the engagement with Thalia Winters, and already Grandmother was arranging introductions?

How long had it been since they’d severed ties with the Winters family?

Grace affectionately linked arms with the elderly lady, softening her voice. “Grandmother, Asher’s engagement with Thalia has only just ended, and you’re already arranging for him to meet Ravena Harrington? People will talk.”

Laurina chimed in from the side: “That’s right, Lady Blackwood. It’s not as if Asher is short of prospects. Every eligible young woman in London would jump at the chance to marry him. There’s really no need to fuss.”
