Secret Change
Though the eldest daughter of a count's family, she had always lived crushed beneath the weight of it all. Now Evelyn begins to strike back against her stepmother and half-siblings.
"To think you treat me, the rightful eldest daughter, in such a manner. Is it any wonder the maids grow insolent when their betters set such an example!"
"Why I avoided my mother's hand? Well...... because I didn't want to get slapped in the face?"
"This dress, those shoes, that parasol. Oh, and the diamonds too. I think they'd all suit this face rather nicely."
The unstoppable march of Evelyn (Luke), and Luke (Evelyn) reeling in shock at every step.
"You are worth far more than you give yourself credit for. You're doing well, so I hope tomorrow brings you more happiness than today."
"I know that simply taking your hand would make everything easier. But in order to stand by your side, I will build my own strength."
The chance he gave her, and her secret change.
