Gale Fawley and Timothy York were originally walking behind the others.
Gale Fawley was murmuring something to Timothy York when he noticed Timothy's gaze shift forward and then pause for a moment. So, he followed Timothy's line of sight.
At the sight, Gale Fawley immediately raised his eyebrows. "Well, if it isn't Mrs. Crawford?"
Sidney Tate had been about to say something more to Summer Thorne, but upon hearing the commotion behind them, he immediately stepped to the side.
Several of them had attended the hunting party Gale Fawley had organized before, so Summer Thorne had met them all.
Seeing Summer Thorne now standing with Mason Crawford's assistant, a flicker of gossip instantly ignited among them.
"It really is Mrs. Crawford. What a coincidence. Long time no see."
"We haven't seen you at any social functions for a while. Been busy lately?"
"Do you even know how to talk? If not, don't just blather on. It's obvious she's been busy!"
