He was more than pleased that she did not become offended at his candour. When she looked into his eyes he did not look away. “I am a patient man, Rowena, so all I can ask is that he spare me a few moments of his time when it is convenient for him. In the meantime I will relish the times we have together on such occasions when they present themselves. In the meantime I look forward to receiving word from you father in regard to this.” He smiled before lifting her hand to kiss it. Such signs of affection in such a place were unusual for Tyler be it felt natural to him so he did not fight it. “I do hope with all my heart that your father is agreeable for me to court you as I am not sure what I would do if he refused, but as you say I hope that he approves of me.” He stroked her cheek that was showing a hint of rose in the skin then took a sip of his tea.<br/><br/>With the scones now gone and the tea drank, Tyler summoned his man back into the tea rooms. With Cooper still making his way back to the table, Tyler spoke again. “Once you have finished you tea, my dear, would you like for me to walk with you a little before I head back to Ivinghoe? As I have at least an hour before I need to head to my room to pack. Unless of course you have a pressing need to return home as you mentioned something about your aunt and Scotland Yard.” He smiled at he started to imagine images of Rowena’s aunt fretting as she searched the house for her niece.<br/>
