The sound of rain drummed against the roof of the carriage.
Watching the gray London landscape spread outside the window, I was blankly thinking about the future.
As a daughter born into an Earl's family, I have a path laid out for me.
A predetermined fiancé.
A predetermined life.
I always thought that was just how things were.
—Until that day.
That day, I met a young man.
A person wearing dirty shoes, who was never supposed to live in the same world as I.
Saved from a carriage accident by a boy working in the slums—.
Biting my lip to hold back tears, I look down.
I... I don't want to get engaged...
Glancing sideways while repairing a watch.
Is that so.
Twitching slightly.
Is that all...?
Without stopping his work.
...What else would you have me say?
Grabbing Noah Gray's clothes tightly.
Tell me to stay.
