Though at first homesickness has [name_f]Isabella[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] writing frequent letters back home to her family, after a few weeks she settles into something of a routine. She then receives a letter from an old friend of her aunt’s, inviting them both to a dance the next week. At the dance, she meets [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] [name_u]Florian[/name_u] [name_u]Windsor[/name_u]. At first, he comes across as [name_u]Shy[/name_u] and softly spoken. She wonders whether he has enough backbone to interest her. They barely talk, save stilted conversation and an awkward dance, and so she returns home, determined to think no more of him. Yet, after the dance, they seem to be running into each other in the strangest places and he is frequently calling at her aunt’s house. She begins to question whether there is more to him than her initial judgement suggested. Her heart begins to change. After a month he proposes by bursting into the drawing room still in his riding clothes and begs for her hand. She accepts. There is an obstacle to their marriage, his domineering mother believes that he is marrying below his station. But their newfound love and mutual respect prevails. They set the wedding date for two months time.
