I WANT TO MARRY YOUR DAUGHTER

Eloise was restless after hearing about the episode that happened at the dinner hosted by her parents. She was worried about Harold. A little too much worried that her own thoughts and feelings startled her.

But for now, her priority was being there for Harold.

But how?

She had made it clear to him that they should stay away from each other and not get any closer than a professional relationship.

And now she wanted to be there for him when he was hurt by her parents, humiliated in front of many. She wanted to be there to soothe his pain and let him know that he had a shoulder to lean on.

Her own conflicted thoughts baffled her. She couldn't figure out what she wanted from herself and that man.

After spending hours contemplating and trying to untangle the mess of her emotions, she decided to think about it later. She left her chamber to go to Harold and talk to him, see if he was doing okay.
