The day was spent looking over the damage around the estate and helping the servants to put it back in good order.
Eloise helped the gardeners to restore the garden, and once it came time for a break, she sat to write a letter to Viola asking if she was well and requesting to stay at her home for a few days.
When the reply arrived sooner than expected, Eloise's spirits lifted. Viola was safe and was welcoming the visit to her home.
While Eloise prepared for her visit, Camille faced an issue she could not ignore. She returned to her bedchamber, where Hayden sat with a paper spread across his lap. T
"What have you come to say now? Are you here to speak of wanting to leave the home again? I suggest you not do so while it is so wet outside," Hayden said without looking up from his paper.
"The rain has stopped," Camille replied sharply. "The servants are out tidying the home. Do you not think you should go take a look? It is already a pity that I needed to cancel my gathering."
