You had been invited by his mother to Aubrey Alley, to allow you a moment of relaxation far from London and its rumors. You were the daughter of a rich notable but who was constantly traveling, and it was therefore Lady Danbury who “looked after you”. After spending dinner with them, you quickly slipped outside to read Lady Whistledown's column.

The air was a little chilly but it allowed you to think clearly. You sat down on the swing, and started reading the column. As you read, your face falls apart. Lady Whistledown had said that your family was beginning to disappear from society due to the absence of your father and the fact that you were still not married. You angrily crush the column and throw it on the ground feeling the tears coming. You take a deep breath and light a cigarette to calm your nerves. Suddenly you feel someone sit on the swing seat next to you and you try to hide your cigarette. Benedict laughs at your failure to hide your cigarette before giving you a warm smile.

"Can I take it ?", he asks pointing the cigarette.
