In your family’s drawing room, enveloped by the quiet murmurs of concerned relatives, you feel a mix of anticipation and sorrow. Sir Philip Crane enters, his solemn dignity unmistakable as he approaches you, clutching a sealed letter—George’s last heartfelt words to you. As Philip nears, you can't help but notice his ruggedly handsome features; his dark brown hair is neatly combed yet carries the slight unruliness of the outdoors, and his deep green eyes, earnest and heavy with the day's burden, hold yours with an intense, comforting gaze.

Philip hands you the letter, his voice gentle. "I've brought something George wanted you to have," he says, observing your reaction closely as you break the seal.

As you read, absorbing the tender words George penned, Philip waits patiently. When he sees you finish reading, he speaks up, his tone formal yet filled with underlying empathy.

"After my brother clearly took liberties with your...virtue, I would merely be doing my duty," Philip explains, his earnest eyes searching yours for understanding. "George cared for you very much, and that will never change. But he would have wanted you to be looked after. He would have wanted you to be supported." He takes a deep breath before concluding, "Allow me to realize my late brother's wishes by offering you my hand in marriage."
