A chance encounter

Disclaimer : I don't own Storm and Silence or any of it's characters, they all belong to the remarkable sir rob.

"Lilly, Hurry up Lilly we have to leave!" Aunt Brank shouted.

I rolled my eyes, and put my dress on even slower, today was the tulip festival and my dear Aunt Brank was taking me and my sisters to Saint James Square to celebrate.

"Lilly!!"

"I'm coming. "

I rushed to the carriage where my aunt and sisters were waiting, Anne and Maria didn't look happy to be kept waiting," there you are lilly, whatever took so long?"

I couldn't very well tell her that I was in Her husbands old clothes and it took time to get into the blasted dress now could I ?

" I was fixing my hair."

" It looks the same as usual. But that is to discuss later come on we are already late ."

We climbed in the carriage, Anne and Maria with my aunt on one side and the rest of us squeezed on the other.

It was a silent ride all of us contemplating silent thoughts. I wonder if Ella's mind was on Sir Philip or maybe Edmund, I on the other hand had much more trifling things on my mind, a certain handsome stony faced individual in particular.

No, no not handsome! Definitely not handsome! Cold and blizzard like ! And blank .
With a very expressive mouth,

Ugh, Lillian Linton head out of the gutter! I do not find Mr. Ambrose appealing in anyway.

I suddenly lurched forward hitting my head. Anne sniggered," real graceful Lilly," I scowled at her and called her a considerable amount of bad things silently.

Looking outside I realized that we were at Saint James Square.

My aunt cleared we throat," Now listen girls, there will be a number of eligible bachelors hear today try to make a good impression. Anne, Maria, Ella take example from Lilly she's been doing remarkably well lately," my aunt beamed at me proudly, no doubt she thought this was is in some way her fault.

I climbed out of the carriage and shouted a "I'm looking for potential men " at my aunt and ran off. Hopefully there was something more interesting here than flowers, maybe chocolate.

Yes, I nodded my head, chocolate would be divine.

Lost in my thoughts I ran head first into someone, " Ouch!!!!"

"What? Ifrit ? What are you doing here?" Said a very familiar voice," Sahib the ifrit is here!"

What the bloody hell was Mr. Ambrose doing at the tulip festival?

"Mr. Linton what are you doing here?" He said his face as unreadable as ever , if slightly strained. He seemed to do that a lot when I was around.

" I'm attending the festival sir, and it's Miss Linton outside of Empire Building, what are you doing here sir ? Wait you're not here with Ms. Hamilton are you?"

"No, I'm not Miss Linton, I'm meeting a business associate."

"Here?"I was sure my face betrayed my thoughts.

"Why so surprised Miss Linton?" I was right," it's a perfectly acceptable place is it not."

"Uh sir, it's a flower festival ."

"How astonishingly observant of you Miss Linton." He said dryly.

I blushed, wait, why was I blushing he was the one at a flower festival he should be blushing, but we were talking about Mr.Ambrose here.

" Sahib, come this way, away from Ifrit." Karim said from behind me, I jumped I had forgotten about the quiet giant.

" No Karim I'll wait here Miss Linton can leave."

I gasped," no I can't I ....

"Lillian!!!"

Oh no ! That's my aunt ! I scurried to find a decent hiding spot then I noticed an alleyway behind Mr.Ambrose. I quickly raced to it and hide airing for her to pass.

I felt something soft brush at my elbow I turned to see what was so indignant as to bother me now and caught my breath I saw the most beautiful.

It was red and gold and absolutely gorgeous I'm not one for flowers but this one was perfect I must have stared in awe for at least 10 minutes.

When I finally turned around I saw Mr. Ambrose watching me wit a very strange expression on his face. One I'd never seen before on his face but one I recognized from another place, no Mr. Ambrose couldn't be looking at me like that.

Strange Ella seemed to like that look on Edmund I wonder what it means.

I saw my aunts back behind him and snuck past her bumping into Karim and running away.

"Allah protect from this creature." I heard from behind me and grinned.

  All the while I looked back and remembered the flowers and the look on Mr. Ambrose's face. 

*************************************

As we drove home that evening talk was all about some officer Anne had managed to make fall in love with her, I tuned it out and looked outside the carriage peacefully. Everyone seemed quite happy actually, unusual for my family.

The carriage screeched to a halt in front of the house, I quietly waited on my sisters to club out before stepping out myself. When I turned they were all busy with something on the steps. Oh lord, was it the papers or the milk?!

When I joined them I gasped wrapped in paper around the stems was a beautiful bouquet of the same tulips I saw in the alleyway at Saint James Square. There was card folded on top, as if I a trance I leaned down and picked it up and read, " To Miss Lillian Linton."

"Who are they from?"my aunt enquired.

"I don't know, they didn't leave a name." But I had an inkling suspicion. 

"How strange," she uttered and walked inside.

"Oh Lilly, maybe you have a secret admirer," gushed Ella, " that's so romantic.  I smiled at her "perhaps Ella perhaps. "

I picked up my flowers and walked inside, finding a vase I unwrapped the paper and placed  the flowers inside.

I was walking towards my room when Ella said,"Lilly you dropped this," in her palm there was a piece of paper, so small one would have thrown it away. I tool it from her and continued on to my room.

Placing the tulips on my dresser I read the note and my heart skipped a beat.

  "My little Ifrit."
