In Need of Something • themuchiestalice
There was Kaitlyn again, on a carriage to the trade office of a Miss Alice Kingsleigh. Not for the sake of business but for her own. She was about to be married a month from now and she had really needed advice in times like such. And she thought that Alice would be the best option to seek for advice after the story of her refusal to marry Hamish Ascot, the son of Lord Ascot. Just think about how bold she was, in a good way, to refuse such. But why?
The story circulated around the place and farther after it occurred. It gave people different reactions. Some were enraged, some were very shocked. Some were bewildered, some were amused. And like some, Kaitlyn was amazed and began to admire her since then.
Maybe they thought of marriage, any kind of marriage, as something they didn't need yet or something that would lessen their free time like cage. But the worst was set for Kaitlyn. Hers was an arranged marriage to a Lord Collier. Exactly the reason she was after the girl for advice. And not only that but to hear her story from the person herself.
Kaitlyn looked at the window as she snapped a book of poetry shut which she was reading earlier. Based on their surroundings, she guessed that they were nearing their destination. She straightened her skirts and adjusted her bonnet as she placed then wore her gloves. They can stop anytime now but it really depended on the condition of the streets. And as Kaitlyn prepared herself, a noticeable smile was painted on her face, symbolizing her eagerness. She just hoped that Miss Kingsleigh was not busy. Otherwise, she would have to return another day.
