You just got back to London, drowning out a piece of news that everyone couldn't stop talking about: Anthony's wedding.

And coincidentally, Lady Violet invited her to a ball. The news of the engagement hurt you, but you feel like you needed to go to that dance. Maybe out of boldness, or just to congratulate your former teenage love who was about to get married.

"What a pleasant surprise." Anthony says in a sour, almost sarcastic tone. He was pretending to be polite.

He should have ignored you. He was out of control around you. And now that he was engaged, it was a mistake to even look at you. But Anthony just can't do it.
