    Summary

    Slowly, carefully, the gentleman pulls out a gold pocket watch and lays it down on the work-table. All his urgency seems to drain away as he looks forlornly down at the old, slightly battered thing.

    “It’s broken,” he says quietly.

    He sounds like that too. Broken.

    Summary

    Anthony motioned towards a young woman in a pink, flowery dress with a matching demi-mask with a swift nod of his chin, and it was Kate’s turn to frown.
    “She’s… wearing a lovely dress?” Kate muttered, her confusion only deepening with Anthony’s gruff, unhumorous laugh. “Why would a debutant…”
    “Hyacinth.”
