Annul?

 The next day Delaney and Vincent dressed and while they were eating their breakfast with Felix and Flora, Harris and Ms. Bird packed up their things. By the time the summer heat was starting to bake the land outside, they were nearly ready to leave.

 Vincent went out to the carriages to speak to the men and make sure everything was as it should be. As soon as he had stepped away, Felix asked Delaney to speak to him in his study.

 Delaney hesitated, looking out where her husband was talking to Harris by the carriages and pointing at something. If her Uncle wanted to speak to her in his study that meant that it was going to be a serious conversation. She didn't like the idea of having such a conversation without Vincent but Felix must have been waiting for a chance to speak with her alone.
