The colonel was madly in love with you despite your affections for me willougby. Which made it all the harder when said man had abandoned you in London for pretty girls. You had tired to visit his estate, but the rain had reached you before Brandon could. He gently swept your limp body up in his feet and carried you back to his manor where a physician was to tend to you.

Even now he could not rest. Not knowing whether you’d be okay, the doctor saying you had a ‘raging fever’.when your sister had tried to change some cold towels he could not bear it anymore. “Please, what can I do?” He whispered Your sister refused, demanding he’d done enough already “Give me something to do or I’ll run mad!” He protested, and she gave in. He fetched your mother and when he was back he examined you from the door worriedly. He was about to leave you with your family when you called out to him.
