Peter's wife, Laura Knight, stared at the pair who were the talk of the market. The murmurs started as Damien caught the attention of the crowd.
Laura had been looking forward to speaking with Eloise, and after all she had heard of late, she felt there truly needed to be a conversation.
Laura approached Eloise, and Peter didn't follow her. "It has been so long since I last saw you, and now you are a married woman. I first want to say congratulations on your marriage."
"Thank you. You as well," Eloise returned the greeting.
Laura offered Damien a smile, hoping he didn't think she was a threat. "I was looking to meet with you tonight. I wanted to speak in private."
"I do not think it is a good idea," Eloise replied, rejecting the offer. "I only seek to enjoy the night with my husband."
