Dear Cassie,





At Cordelia’s introduction party we see James leave her in the middle of the ballroom, raptured by the first mysterious appearance of Grace. There is not enough time to realise the gravity of what he has done in regards to the young maiden, that Matthew steps in to take his place, leaving his partner, Lucie, to save Daisy’s night. Dis-grace avoided ;).

While reading that, my best friend and I couldn’t help but reminisce the scene from Jane Austen’s “Emma” in which Mr Knightley decides to ask sweet Harriet to dance (and gives her one the best nights of her life) while no-one was watching just because he sees her miserable on the side, and knows how much her happiness is important to his beloved Emma.

So, we’ve been wondering, how does Matthew realise that Daisy is about to be left partner-less in the spotlight for another girl.

Will we ever find out? If yes, please keep us spoiler free and just hint it away ;).

But if not, how did it go? What was Math doing while dancing and laughing with his parabatai’s sister? Watching James? Or was it Lucie who, having decided to organise and dedicate the ball to Daisy’s arrival in London, couldn’t help looking at her beloved Daisy to see if she was enjoying her night and noticing what was about to happen, pointed it out to Math so that he could fling himself to save her almost-parabatai? Or what is it even something more heartwarming than that, with Math seeing Lucie’s face change in the blink of an eye and following her gaze noticing what was about to happen??

I’m sorry I just had to finally spit it out — my (and my best friend’s too) heads are spinning with all the possibilities —if you haven’t noticed we love that scene.

Thank you for everything you do and I can’t wait to read COI.

I would love if you checked out my art too! @bgzart over IG!
