Delaney opened her eyes, at last, to find it had started to grow dark outside. She shifted and was surprised when she felt something warm against her cheek. Eyes going wide, she realized she had fallen asleep against Vincent. She turned red in embarrassment as she sat up quickly, waking him up as well.
"I'm sorry," she straightened her skirt and patted her hair to make sure it was in place.
He smiled, "It's alright you lasted much longer than I thought you would." He pulled the curtain back and grinned, "And this is perfect timing. It looks like you're almost home."
Delaney felt a pang of sadness at the idea of leaving him already. She regretted having spent most of their time asleep. Now she was starving and sore from the carriage and ready to be on solid ground again.
When the carriage came to a stop in front of her Aunt and Uncle's home, Vincent helped her out and studied the building. "I haven't been here since your birthday ball."
