Theodore and Lucy travelled back in the same carriage to the castle, and while Lucy looked outside the small window, Theodore watched how hard she tried to keep her eyes glued at the window.
Lucy didn't remember when was the last time she had travelled in the same carriage with Theodore or spent this much time with him after she was married to Samuel. She felt him watching her, but every time her eyes tried to meet his, he was looking in the other direction, making her wonder if she was only overthinking and being too receptive about the situation.
Maybe she was behaving too childish by having a dig at every opportunity, but she didn't mind it. Her hand clutched on to her clean skirt when she remembered the tears she had spilt after Theodore had refused her feelings.
