Mills was pulled around by Drax and introduced to more people than she cared to know. She worked hard to learn the country's expectations of her, because she did not want to make Drax's family look bad. They had been nothing but kind to her, especially his parents. They had already announced their engagement, and she would save her irritated glares for Drax until after the event.
Armed with a fake smile, Mills made it through greeting after greeting, but all the while Mina's words were playing in her mind. She was free to leave if she wanted, she knew that, but it was not entirely the fact that she had slept with Drax that was holding her back. She had fallen for the man, and part of her wanted to believe that the changes she saw in him were temporary, but she did not know if she could gamble away her happiness because of hope.
