I still had time left at Luna Nova, actually. I hadn't finished my studies. [Though really, she could've left at any time.

She didn't want to.]

I haven't decided what to do after I graduated. [A pause, and she corrects.] Hadn't decided, that is. I was preparing to take my place at the head of the Cavendish family, and then I imagine I'd have had some work to do restoring the household to what it once was. I'd have liked to follow in my mother's footsteps as a diplomat, but I don't think I have her silver tongue.
