Hours passed with the couple spending time with Viola. By evening, Eloise set out with Damien to return to the manor in time for dinner.
Eloise and Damien kept to their usual routine of having dinner with Jane. Once dinner was finished, Eloise excused herself from the table, leaving Jane and Damien alone to speak.
Eloise sent Hannah off as tonight she wouldn't need any help dressing herself.
Alone in the bedchamber, Eloise stood before the mirror and studied her reflection. She smoothed down the nightgown she had found amongst the gifts Viola had prepared for her. The thin material clung to her skin.
Dressing up for Damien hadn't been in Eloise's plans for the night, but remembering how much he had liked the white dress the previous evening, she thought to do it again.
The only concern was how scandalous the nightgown was.
Eloise crossed her arms over her chest. Only Viola would be so daring as to provide her with something so sheer and so exposed.
