Nicholas and Sophie spent the entire afternoon retelling each other and swapping stories about their time together as children. Most of them were all wrapped in memories about how the two enjoyed the entire month together before Nicholas left to return to the castle.
"I actually came here with my parents a few months later," Nicholas said. "But you were gone and we couldn't find you."
"Well.. after you left, my aunt's men found me and took me to Hastings. My grandfather heard about my parents' death and apparently, regretted that he had banished my father, his only son, from his home after my father decided to marry down to a woman from the lower class."
Nicholas remembered that Sophie lived with a relatively wealthy family. So, it was her aunt's family?
"Why didn't you live with your grandfather?" Nicholas asked her. "You never told me about him, just your aunt and her family."
