It was high time she acted as an adult.

"I want to stay here until the wedding," Isadora said, hoping to bring him out of the reverie. "Milady needs support."
Jerrick nodded, with his eyes still on the door. Isadora wondered if he could see through the door for him to stare at the door so intently.
"Has the Grand Duke expressed his desire to adopt me or will you have to convince him?" She asked.
That turned Jerrick's attention toward Isadora. "He won't refuse my proposal," he said.
