Peggy POV:
I walked down the street, heart pounding. Eliza sent me telegram yesterday, she seemed excited so of course, I got the train back towards the large house that was once my home.
Eliza tried to hide her excitement behind a mask of makeup as she opened the door.
'what's all this about then' I asked
the reply I got made me sick to my stomach
my sweet, caring Eliza, ENGAGED? and to that war hero from the Caribbean
'amazing right!' she said
'uh um yeah of course' I replied
ugh. family drama is way too much. if only angelica hadn't waited until after Eliza had finished her schoolyears to tell her of her lover. perhaps I wouldn't feel so helpless if that were the case
we were ushered inside by hetty, the maid, for a toast to the new couple
I didn't drink, I'm still a 'schoolgirl, unable to fend for myself'
they are wrong, of course.
Eliza POV:
I look at my sisters. now looking back at it all, I realized my own joy clouded their misery.
I never thought of alexander as a rich war profiteer. I think of him as the scrappy teen I met at the winter ball all those years ago
but the present is the present.
Alex is at home now, probably writing.
I should do the same
I picked up a pencil and I wrote
'my dearest, alexander
not a minute passes that I do not wish for the wedding to be sooner
but for the time being,
betrothed is good enough for me
love,
Elizabeth'
I sat by the window taking in the sights of the city
ill deliver the letter to alex in the morning
I'm not sure how I feel about this chapter, might delete, till then it's staying in drafts
