At the Hawthorne estate, Camille arrived to visit Jane and have a talk with Eloise about an outing.
"Quinn, dear!" Camille called, her voice carrying through the entrance as she waved her hand to catch his attention. "Are you going to speak to your dear aunt?"
Quinn halted as he looked down at where Camille walked. "I didn't see you there, Aunt Camille. Forgive me."
"You are forgiven. I am glad I came in time to see you. Isn't it about time we talked about your future bride? I've had plenty of mothers approach me with their lovely daughters, each eager to see her child become your wife," Camille shared, her eyes gleaming with anticipation.
"I am not going to take a wife this season. Perhaps next season I will be fully invested in it and take part in all the events. I will let the focus of this season remain on Damien and Eloise," Quinn said, a tinge of guilt pricking at his chest like a thorn.
