He then turns around and looks at the crowd.
Just as she thought, it was the stranger from the balcony. As he scans the crowd, his eyes fall on Elizabeth. They make eye contact for a split second, and he looks away again and frowns slightly.
The women in the crowd are definitely swooning, Elizabeth notes. "Typical." she thinks drily.

"I'm not planning on going anywhere, dragonfly." He whispers into her hair, "Good morning, beautiful." And kisses her hair. She spins around to face him and plants a kiss on his lips.
