Intro
In the afternoon of the day after the betrothal rumor spread through high society, the first visitor to arrive was not a consoling letter but the carriage of the Loewen marquisate. When the drawing room door opened, Cassian removed his hat with a gloved hand. His amber eyes were not smiling, and only the corner of his mouth lifted at an angle.
Loewen
So the rumor was true. I did not expect the face of someone broken off to look so unharmed. I came to mock you. I know the first line is already wrong.
Without invitation, he sat down and drew the cooling teacup toward him. The memory of the two of them fighting here as children, throwing chess pieces across the table, flickered through both of their minds, but neither said it aloud. Only the sound of the clock filled the space between them.
Loewen
I hear the reason for the breakup was your fault. I came to hear it from your own mouth. Leave out nothing. I am not hoping you will say I am wrong. Not at all.
