“Have Giselle pack your trunk for a few days,” her father said as they sat down to dinner that evening. “I’d like you to come as well, Louisa. She’ll need a female chaperone. Unless, of course, you intend to ignore your duty to spend your time with that Delgado fellow and leave your niece at sixes and sevens.”

“What are you talking about, Henri? There are no travel plans that I’m aware of,” Louisa replied.

“I have just finalized the arrangements. We leave tomorrow morning.”

“When are we returning, Papa?”

“We’ll return Friday evening,”

Aunt glanced at her. “Could we not return Friday morning, Henri? I’ve plans for Friday evening.”

“Not the morning. Perhaps the afternoon, if my business is concluded.”

Lucinda cleared her throat. “Why would we be accompanying you on a business trip, Papa?”

He laid down his fork and knife and looked at her. “Because you are my daughter. Because I enjoy having you with me. Because there will be some interesting people to meet. We’ll take the train at nine and be in Valley Forge by luncheon.”

She buttered her croissant and looked at her aunt, who shook her head. She agreed. There would be no changing his mind, and an argument would only make the days miserable. She would not have an opportunity to speak to James before his match. But if they were back in time, she was going to see James fight. She would see him for herself and perhaps talk to him afterward.
