Hearing what Victoria just said, Abigail raised a brow, silently urging her to continue.
Victoria nodded, almost theatrically. "According to what I heard, our father gave him a very serious talking-to. A full-on lecture. Like, a proper sit-down. He didn't even spare him. He warned him mercilessly. Told him that he should never try to disobey him, never do anything stupid, especially when it comes to you. He was so serious, Abigail."
However Abigail's face remained still, but inside her heart was thudding just a little louder.
Victoria continued, "And they finally came to a conclusion. They agreed. The wedding is going to be." she paused for effect, "A week from now."
