Tristan knew he had been lonely for a long time when he realized he was somewhat nervous about his new potential friend visiting. He didn't usually take much notice of whether Pippa cleaned meticulously enough, but now he had actually inspected the surfaces for dust (and had been pleased to find there was none) and he had asked her for some extra cleaning tasks that were usually reserved for the weekend. It was compensated by the fact that he had asked her not to cook. He had ordered food because... well... It would be a bit embarrassing to serve Pippa's food.
He now sat in the drawing room, listening for the bell and Pippa leading Douglas up. Tristan wore the same outfit as yesterday - his best - and he had freshly shaved and wore some cologne. He probably couldn't match up to the well-to-do friends the lord had at home and in whatever grand places he had visited, but Tristan still hoped to look tidy and respectable enough.
