When Emily met Geoffrey the first time, she was at the church playing the piano. She missed having one of her own, but her family could no longer afford it. She usually played for the orphans who she often visited because looking at them somehow made her feel better about the life she felt was burdensome and depressing enough.
At first, she was a little angry for he disrupted her time alone. However, looking at his obviously luxurious clothes, she realized that she can not afford to offend him too much, so she reigned her temper in.
She thought that that would be their one and only encounter, so she was surprised when the first letter came. It was signed anonymous, but she noticed the paper looked expensive and the man who delivered it did not look like a servant from a normal family. He also addressed his master as lord, so she thought that the boy must be from a noble family.
