The party is unravelling slowly as drifts of guests make toward the  
exit. As she politely negotiates her way back to the drawing room  
where she last saw Lady Sinclair with Mr Bradley and Ms Scoland, Mara  
suddenly feels like she is the focus of somebody's attention. As she  
glances around, she catches sight of a white blonde, delicate as an  
ice rose, part of the general exodus from the party, near the main  
doors. She stands beside a dark, strong featured man who is bowing a  
little too theatrically over Lady Sinclair's hand. As Mara's eyes  
widen, the blonde looks directly at her. Camille Carlton. Mara knows  
the man, too.

Camille's eyes narrow then her gaze drops away. She smiles a little  
forcedly at Lady Sinclair who is now garrulously saying her goodbyes.  
There is a slight tension in Camille's body language; a nervousness  
to her smile.
