Madison was dressed and ready to leave, the carriage had already arrived and her trunk was being loaded in but Robert hadn’t come out yet.
Stephen had left a while ago and she wandered what was keeping him this long, she had sent a servant to inform him of the cart arrival but he hadn’t returned yet. They should have been on their way by now, but unfortunately for her it seems like the duke never kept to time.
Becoming tired of standing on the porch of the house she took off her barrette feeling sweaty and decided to check for herself what was taking him so long.
