Penelope was relieved to return home and get out of the carriage so she could escape Tyrion's questions about when she looked at him in secret.
"Welcome home, Milady," Winston greeted Penelope as he ran by her. "Welcome home, Your Highness. Is there a fire to be put out?"
Tyrion exited the carriage with the biggest smile Winston had ever seen.
"No. My wife is just lovely," Tyrion replied, looking forward to the chase. "Is her gift near?"
"Yes, Your Highness. Her maid has been taking care of it," Winston replied.
Tyrion followed Penelope inside so he wouldn't miss her reaction to the gift.
On the way to see the gift, Tyrion enjoyed the chase. No matter where Penelope ran to, he would always catch up to her.
While Tyrion took long strides to close the distance between himself and Penelope, Penelope ran up the stairs.
Penelope looked over her shoulder constantly to see how close Tyrion was to her. She was not going to answer him.
