Jessamine hadn't noticed that one dance had nearly came and went, because she had been enjoying herself with Mr. Knight so much; that much was obvious to her partner as she was never very good at hiding her facial expressions the way other young ladies were. She only hoped that he didn't mind that about her, as it was something she couldn't seem to change about herself, despite the fact she had made the effort to try in her etiquette classes. She listened with interest as he answered her question, and he was right, telling her he lived in London didn't really tell her much at all, except for he probably enjoyed the city more than the country, but his comment about having multiple properties? That interested her, not only because it told her that he was wealthy (not that his clothes didn't hint at that), but that he was likely also well traveled. “I've never been so far from home before, but Calcutta sounds lovely,” She quietly hoped she'd get to see India one day, as it would be interesting to learn about, “Do you travel a lot? I'm just assuming you must, if you have more property in other cities.”

As the second dance started, her heart skipped a beat; this dance was a bit more complicated than the last, but as they continued to talk, she became more comfortable and less nervous. Minnie, of course, did her best to seem prim, proper, and like a proper young lady as she blushed and smiled when Mr. Knight expressed disappointment that he would have to hand her over to her next potential suitor after their second dance, but inside her head she was doing the equivalent of screaming into a pillow.

“Perhaps...,” Jessamine did her best not to sound too eager or terribly uncouth in her response to him, but more flirtatiously coy, in a sweet, endearing way, “You may see me at another ball this Season.”
