"What happened?" asked the maid seeing Vivian come back.
"I thought I saw someone I know," she said turning again to look at the people but whoever had helped her from falling was long gone. Picking up the gunny bag and hoisting it up on her hip, she followed the maid back to the carriage.
"Seriously, you gave me a fright back there. I thought someone stole something from you," she gave the girl an apologetic smile. Reaching the mansion after placing the bags in the store room the maid said, "By the way, this fell from your dress when you ran previously," the maid showed the flower in her hand.
"Thank you," Vivian took it in her hand but the other maids who were around couldn't help but ask.
"Who is the flower from? Don't tell me you found a suitor in the market."
"Do you think we will be allowed to leave if we find suitors?"
