The carriage ride to the Count's manor was a journey filled with silence. Davis expertly navigated the horse through the winding roads, while Noah sat beside him, his gaze fixed on the road ahead.
Inside the carriage, Doris sat close to the window giving Suzy and Ryan their personal space as she stared at the window watching the passing scenery. Beside her sat Suzy who was lost in the pages of a book, her expression a mixture of concentration and amusement. The soft glow of the afternoon sun cast a warm hue on her face, highlighting the freckles scattered across her nose and cheeks. Her hair, braided into a low bun, framed her face perfectly, the pearl earrings, necklace and a pair of wrist length gloves added a touch of beauty, and the lavender hat she wore added a touch of elegance to her simple yet captivating appearance.
