It took every ounce of his restraint not to gather her in his arms as soon as her melodic voice filled the air. She was alright, then, or at least not so grievously harmed that she couldn't receive visitors. Will breathed a massive sigh of relief, a smile taking over his previously stressed expression. She was alright. She was alive and well and definitely not mutilated by an axe wielding debutant. He quickly scanned her for any obvious injuries, though her dress hid more than he could properly assess. Perhaps she was injured and hiding it? Will's eyebrows tensed again at the thought.

Nevertheless, Diana was here and he shouldn't have been. The butler lingered at the doorway with the same tense smile as he had plastered on upon admitting Will, and her chaperone was to arrive any second. "Miss Fawley, I apologize for the suddenness of my visit." He replied politely. News of his visit would be in every household from here to Singapore before noon. Will knew he couldn't stay long. "I read about the er...incident yesterday... and the report didn't specify who was injured..."

Merlin, this was hard. Will bit the inside of his lip and kept his eyes trained on hers. "I thought it might be you."
