Cecilia, a celebrated pattern designer, prepared to formalize her bond with Lord Alan at a banquet marking the end of their three-year contract. Instead, Alice disclosed their history of miscarriages before the gathered guests, and Alan offered no defense or denial. The silence destroyed Cecilia's trust. She discarded the Deep Sea Vow brooch she had carved for the occasion and departed immediately. She relocated to Silver Bay Port, where she accepted the position of chief pattern designer at the Royal Weaving Workshop, beginning a new professional chapter away from the aristocratic circle that failed her.
