Eloise's smile fell into a frown. She had once been close to Quinn, but time changed that. She could not expect that after years of not seeing Quinn, he would be friendly.
Eloise tried not to let it ruin the moment. She had time to speak with Quinn and hopefully be close to him again.
"It's you," another man's voice came from the door. "I'm Kyle Hawthorne, soon to be your brother-in-law. I didn't believe it was true when Damien said he was getting married. How did you do it?"
Eloise stared at Kyle, forgetting for a moment that she had to speak. "Forgive me. We were childhood friends, and when we reunited recently, there was a spark."
"Truly?" Kyle asked and walked into the room to sit down before Eloise.
Eloise looked up at Millie, who smiled in return.
"Yes," Eloise answered.
"I heard that you used to visit the estate when we were younger, but I don't have any memory of it. How old are you?" Kyle asked, scooting his chair closer to Eloise.
