Victor shook his head. "I don't want to bring it up to mother until I'm absolutely sure," he explained. He felt fairly confident about moving things forward with Miss Dempsey, but he wasn't entirely committed yet. If he learned something about her that caused him to change his mind, he didn't want his mother to worry about the false start. More importantly, if there was something particularly dreadful he didn't yet know about Miss Dempsey, he didn't want his mother to question his judgement and feel she needed to be more involved with his marital search moving forward.
Fabulous set by Lady!
