The servant entertained Thomas and then went upstairs to tell Cecilia about his presence.

While waiting, Thomas couldn't help but wonder if Mark could come here and stay overnight without the servant informing the Fowlers beforehand; or maybe he could just enter Cecilia's room?

She looked much fresher now than she did a while ago. Her long hair was tied into a neat ponytail, and her dress looked comfortable and stylish at the same time.

She even wore heels to accomplish her look.
