.
Penny didn't know how to react but sit stoically without speaking a word with Mr. Reverale. Though the man sat there quietly as if minding his work, she couldn't brush the awkwardness around her. Trying to ignore it, she looked outside the window until Quinn's mansion finally started to come in view.
As the mansion approached closer and closer, the carriage was pulled towards the bridge and Penny couldn't tell how happy she was. Internally sighing to herself, her eyes finally shifted away from the window to look back inside to find the man who had been staring at her.
How long had he been staring at her? Even after her eyes met his eyes, the man refused to look away from her.
