"You love him don't you?" "What?!" "You love my cousin James don't you?" asked William. "It's alright if you do, I don't mind, he's a nice man." Meredith blushed. "Yes. Well at least I think I do. My heart was racing a thousand beats per second and my face felt very hot... Is that supposed to happen?" she asked. "Yes. That means you are in love with him. Wow, and you only met him today." She blushed again. "Is that wrong?" "Not at all. That's how I fell in love with my governess, Lady Marianne. She was a very young governess, she was only eight years older than me. You look a lot like her actually," he said. "Tell me more!" she said. She was interested in knowing more about this woman. "She was beautiful. I fell in love with her at first sight. She never knew or understood my feelings, and I am somewhat glad about that." "Oh? Well where is she now? I'm sure you could go and visit her, right?" she asked. When she noticed him frown she immediately regretted saying what she said. "Marianne... passed away three years ago from Scarlet Fever." Meredith quickly stood up an bowed. "Forgive me. I didn't know!" "It's nothing to apologize for. People die all the time. It's not like hers meant something. And it's nothing I should keep mourning about." "It's alright to keep mourning and to cry once and a while. I know I still cry over the death of my own parents. I miss them terribly and I wish they were still here, but I still cry over them and it let's me let loose and to let them go." He stood up and engulfed her in his arms. He held her close and she could feel his tears on her shoulder. She lightly put her arms around him. "It's okay to cry..." she whispered.
