Elise could feel the frown on Edward's face. The man wasn't pleased, but she had given him the reason. If he had sent her a letter about it, confirming that he would be sending a gown only to reject it today, that would be her fault, but not now. Regardless, the man had good intentions by sending her the gown. Politely Elise made a light bow, "I'm sorry if this offends you, but I was very grateful for your intention. However, as I did not know you would be sending me a gown, I was not able to notify you about this."
Edward noticed how he hadn't controlled his expression. He shook his head swiftly, putting the smile on his lips, "No, half of this has my fault for not asking if you have arranged a gown to wear. Were you happy when receiving the gown?"
