Damien left Gage and Aiden to begin noting the damage done to the estate. Soon after, he returned to his bedchamber to see if Eloise had woken and to chase away any lingering company.
By the time he arrived, Quinn, Iris, and Reece had already departed, slipping back to their own chambers.
Eloise was awake, getting dressed for the day.
"Good morning," Eloise greeted, fastening the last ribbon at her waist. "I was coming out to join you, to see how the garden fared. Is there much damage to the estate?"
Damien's gaze softened at the sight of her. "A few broken windows and puddles of water. Nothing that won't be easy to mend. I must ride around to see what damage the land has suffered. That bit of rain caused trouble in the town."
"Come with me," he said, reaching for her hand.
Eloise's brow furrowed with worry. "I should send someone to check on my father's home and Millie's. What if one of the windows was not closed, and the rooms have been flooded with water?"
