Chapter 37

• Lucinda and Cateline Forth
• After having tea with Lord Joaquim at the castle, the girls became calmer. Lucinda had asked for some time to think, and Joaquim agreed. He knew it was sudden for her, and he understood she needed time to accept it.
• They left the castle after bidding farewell, taking their carriage. They made a stop at the inn before heading back to the farm, needing some fresh air and a better understanding of what had just happened. The girls stayed silent for a while, especially Cateline, who was there just for support.
