"Are you alright?" Lettice asked coming to sit next to Heidi on the bed, "Are you feeling unwell thinking about the engagement?"
After Heidi had left the piano room, she had come to her room to sleep but she couldn't. Her heart pounding in her chest, she laid on the bed, unable to erase the feeling she felt in the piano room with the lord. She was conflicted, right now.
"I...I can't," Heidi uttered while Lettice looked at her with a shocked expression.
"What are you talking about?" Lettice whispered worried.
"I don't think I can go ahead with getting engaged to someone whom I don't love," she met Lettice's alarmed eyes.
"I-Is there someone you love? Why didn't you tell it before?" Heidi would have told if she could but she had recently caught up with her feelings. Seeing there was no answer, Lettice saw the expression of pain and longing pass through her friend's face. In some ways they were very similar, as she had gone through the same circumstance few months ago.
