Eward was so enraptured with trying to grab Katherine's attention he did not realise he was the centre of someone else's. As his name was mentioned by his side he finally tore his eyes away and turned to see who it was, surprised to find Miss Wexley. She looked very tempting this evening (as far as he could remember he had always been tempted by Daphne one way or another) and he found himself smiling genuinely for the first time that evening.
"Miss Wexley," he said, bowing, his blue eyes flashing. "You look rather sumptuous this evening."
