She did not see the Viscount for the next couple of days, and honestly, Annette could not be bothered. The man had vexed her far too many times.
After taking her time to bathe and dress, Annette decided to take a stroll, get some fresh air, and feast her eyes on the sights around town. It had been a while since she last stepped beyond the walls of the mansion.
With a single braid flowing down her back, she stepped out of the carriage and into the bustle of the streets. A wedding ceremony was taking place at the end of the street, hence the crowd of people dressed elegantly in their finest clothes.
Annette took a moment to admire their exquisite dresses. They all appeared so joyous, without a single worry in the world.
She sighed audibly, tucking the loose strands of hair behind her ear. It was quite windy that morning.
