Lady Elizabeth Breckenridge stood near the grand fireplace, her slender form wrapped in a silken gown of sapphire blue. The warmth of the fire flickered against her youthful face, casting soft shadows that only heightened her blue-eyed beauty. During her two seasons, she had garnered the adoration of many, though her heart remained untouched by love. She sighed as she glanced at her surroundings.
The Thorne family’s drawing-room emanated elegance and refinement; its high ceilings adorned with intricate moldings, walls lined with gilded mirrors, and lush velvet draperies pooled gracefully to the polished wooden floor. An air of sophistication pervaded the surroundings, from the priceless collection of fine art to the delicate porcelain figurines displayed upon marble-topped tables. The room was filled with extravagant furnishings, each piece chosen with utmost care to create an atmosphere of luxury befitting the family’s noble lineage.
“Dearest sister, are you lost in thought again?” Elizabeth’s brother, William, teased as he approached her, a playful grin dancing upon his lips.
“Hardly,” Elizabeth replied with a coy smile, her eyes sparkling with mischief. “I was merely admiring the captivating view.”
“Ah yes,” he agreed, following her gaze toward the vast windows overlooking the snow-covered gardens. “It is a sight to behold.”
“Indeed,” Elizabeth said with a nod.
She strode across the drawing room, coming to a stop at the window. The morning sun bathed the Thorne family’s grand estate in a warm, golden light, casting long shadows across the sprawling gardens. It was one of those rare days when winter seemed to retreat just enough for the promise of spring to peek through. Elizabeth traced the windows frame as she gazed out upon the vibrant scene.
