In contrast to the flurry of activities and excitement being experienced by the debutantes after the afternoon party hosted by duchess cross, the days that followed have been boring and excruciatingly slow for Serena.
She continued to attend parties and galas, seeing the same set of people, socializing with other ladies flattering her hoping that she would favor them. It was boring her and although there's the entertainment provided by Emily and Anna, that too has quickly gone old.
During those times, Christopher Cross tried to talk to her. He seems interested in her, but she could not fathom why. To the knowledge of everyone in their society, she was already engaged to Geoffrey. Perhaps he was just trying to build connections? Then again, he was always acting within propriety so perhaps she's just the one being overly conscious. Besides, maybe she was just not used to it as it has been forever since any male out of her circle acted friendly with her.
