Eloise and Damien soon returned to the festival for one last lap around the stalls to get all that they needed and see the performances before reuniting with Jane to leave.
Jane stared at the four headpieces sitting on Damien's head. She wanted to comment on Eloise and Damien showing off, but the little things like this would prove the gossip wrong.
'Their marriage is fine,' Jane thought, glancing back to see if everyone was watching. They should all watch and see that the gossip was all lies.
"Jane, you haven't given anyone your headpieces. No one caught your attention?" Eloise asked, noticing the pieces still in Silas's hands.
"I know who I will give them to. I would be foolish to give them to the boys here and have them delude themselves that I am waiting for them in the capital. I won't marry any of the boys here," Jane said, her gaze falling upon the flowers in Silas's hands.
"There are good boys here," said Eloise.
