She looks a lot different than the other times I've seen her at the museum or Society events; her hair is tied back, her face is makeup-free, and she's wearing a coat over her pajamas. She looks disheveled yet alert.

Their parents had noticed the change but kept quiet about it. They were quite surprised, as Marian was the bride instead of Elisabeth.

By the time they were done talking and Connor had seen them out, he came back and gently brushed his fingers across my cheek. "Have you been crying?" he asked. Only then did I realize my face was wet with tears. "Connor, you're getting married. You said–" But before I could finish, Connor cut me off with a chuckle. "Marry the girl next door who's ten years younger than me? Baby, people would say I'm a creep. You might not care, but I still have my pride." It felt like I had been plunged into an ice bath.

Certainly not by the first line thrown at me.” He pretended offense. “Signorina, I would never insult you by thinking it would not be a long treasure hunt. You’d require a lot of work.” “Signora,” she corrected. “I am married.” His face pulled into a low, sad look. “Pity.” “Somehow, I think you knew.” “Perhaps. But let me introduce myself formally.
