As if Vincent's presence wasn't enough to bother Eve, Theophilus had turned quiet, wanting to give her time to think about his proposal to her.
"When did it start to snow?" Eve questioned Theophilus while making an empty conversation to avoid awkwardness.
"Two days before Lady Aubrey arrived here. How about Meadow?" He returned the question, and on noticing Eve turn to look behind her, he turned too, but there was no one he knew or believed Eve was familiar with. He asked, "Are you looking for someone?"
Eve quickly turned back and replied, "No. I missed some of the buildings there and wanted to… look at them."
Theophilus nodded, believing Eve's words to be true, while not knowing the time he gave her to think about him, she was thinking about another man.
