She was pleased when he didn't roll his eyes at her aspirations (any of them), she was far too used to that. She didn't bother to hide her smile at all. "That's how I see it too," she said nodding happily, clearly pleased with his reaction and proud of herself.
She sighed loudly and nodded enthusiastically, "That's putting it lightly, she never really left the house. The only time she really let me leave was when there were," she paused, she didn't want to say 'boys' outright because true or not that just made it sound worse, "Important people for me to meet. She was really concerned about my status, I don't think I did so well though," she said shrugging a bit but forcing a smile regardless, she didn't want to seem ungrateful. She couldn't quite put her finger on why she'd been kicked out at all, she could only assume it was because she hadn't managed to land a rich husband, or because she hadn't quite turned into the debutante her guardian had hoped to raise.
