Gage opened the carriage door after it came to a stop and stepped aside so Damien could exit.
Damien turned around to offer his hand to Eloise, helping her out of the carriage.
"Thank you," Eloise said as she stepped out. She used her right hand to hold the top of her coat, not wanting it to slip off just yet.
Eloise looked up in awe at the large palace. It was lit up enough for the guests to see every inch of the palace walls.
The lanterns were unique, as though a skilled craftsman had made them. She thought of having some made for the estate's garden.
"You should take off your coat now and leave it in the carriage. I can always send Gage to get it for you if you get cold," Damien said, going to stand behind Eloise.
Eloise let go of the coat, allowing it to fall from her shoulders.
Damien held onto the coat and handed it off to Gage. "Shall we?" he asked, offering his hand for Eloise to hold.
