You do realise Colin will now be more insufferable than ever, I shall not get a moment alone with you.

[           ᝰ໋᳝݊ຳི 𝓟𝑒𝑛. @PensQuil]

You do know this means I shall me around a lot more often than not?

[ℰ𝓁ℴ𝒾𝓈ℯ @DefiantSpinster]

Let me mourn the loss of you.

[           ᝰ໋᳝݊ຳི 𝓟𝑒𝑛. @PensQuil]

Thajks my dearest bestfriend

[ℰ𝓁ℴ𝒾𝓈ℯ @DefiantSpinster]

Another beautiful independent woman lost to marriage.

How tragic.

[ℰ𝓁ℴ𝒾𝓈ℯ @DefiantSpinster]

It seems her views have not yet been corrupted by her may siblings, excellent.

It is Miss Abernathy, is it not?

[ℰ𝓁ℴ𝒾𝓈ℯ @DefiantSpinster]

That would be most delightful. She is in need of some new company.

[ℰ𝓁ℴ𝒾𝓈ℯ @DefiantSpinster]

All her siblings are happily married off or chasing after some desirable lady.

She has never felt more alone.

[ℰ𝓁ℴ𝒾𝓈ℯ @DefiantSpinster]

It seems to be the only thing that consumes Benedict’s thoughts of late — how can one not of heard.

[𝙋𝙚𝙣𝙚𝙡𝙤𝙥𝙚. Seen Part Two! @KindestPen]

Well I’m sure you heard about the mysterious silver lady at the ball, right?

[ℰ𝓁ℴ𝒾𝓈ℯ @DefiantSpinster]

She has taken to the quiet end of the home in hopes her meddling mother does not find her.

[ℰ𝓁ℴ𝒾𝓈ℯ @DefiantSpinster]

Features plastered with a winning smile, balancing her book nearly upon her lap. “What is worrying you so?”

[ᵗʰᵉ 𝒔𝒆𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒅 𝑏𝑜𝑟𝑛 .ᐟ @artsamoureur]

. . . fine. he shall try.

[ℰ𝓁ℴ𝒾𝓈ℯ @DefiantSpinster]

That depends, is he prepared to talk with her?

[ᵗʰᵉ 𝒔𝒆𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒅 𝑏𝑜𝑟𝑛 .ᐟ @artsamoureur]

he would appreciate if she stopped using that splendid talent on him.

[ℰ𝓁ℴ𝒾𝓈ℯ @DefiantSpinster]

That is the purpose of her stares, she does have rather a talent of making those around her uncomfortable. A most splendid talent.

[ᵗʰᵉ 𝒔𝒆𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒅 𝑏𝑜𝑟𝑛 .ᐟ @artsamoureur]

. . . her staring does not really help to feel at ease, just so she knows.

[ℰ𝓁ℴ𝒾𝓈ℯ @DefiantSpinster]

He does not. Instead she shall sit with him silence, her stare continuously on Benedict.

[ᵗʰᵉ 𝒔𝒆𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒅 𝑏𝑜𝑟𝑛 .ᐟ @artsamoureur]

slurping his tea instead. he does not owe any explanation.

[ℰ𝓁ℴ𝒾𝓈ℯ @DefiantSpinster]

Please catch me up on everything I have possibly missed.

[𝙋𝙚𝙣𝙚𝙡𝙤𝙥𝙚. Seen Part Two! @KindestPen]

I’m well thank you and yes it’s been awhile.

[ℰ𝓁ℴ𝒾𝓈ℯ @DefiantSpinster]

Quirking a brow with a pointed look. She doesn’t believe that nonsense for a second.

[ᵗʰᵉ 𝒔𝒆𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒅 𝑏𝑜𝑟𝑛 .ᐟ @artsamoureur]

nothing, he just woke up in such a mood.

[ℰ𝓁ℴ𝒾𝓈ℯ @DefiantSpinster]

What has gotten him in such a sour mood?

[ᵗʰᵉ 𝒔𝒆𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒅 𝑏𝑜𝑟𝑛 .ᐟ @artsamoureur]

he's feeling rather grumpy this morning. sipping his tea.

[ℰ𝓁ℴ𝒾𝓈ℯ @DefiantSpinster]

What a marvellous morning to avoid promenading. You shall find Eloise alone with a book in hand, tucked away in a quiet little corner.

[ℰ𝓁ℴ𝒾𝓈ℯ @DefiantSpinster]

I am well, more importantly how are you?! So much time has pasted.

[𝙋𝙚𝙣𝙚𝙡𝙤𝙥𝙚. Seen Part Two! @KindestPen]

How are you? I’ve missed you!

[ℰ𝓁ℴ𝒾𝓈ℯ @DefiantSpinster]

To be your own man, huh. May I learn of these teachings?

[𝐆𝐑𝐄𝐆𝐎𝐑𝐘. @breggridgerton]

No, no. Eton has taught me to—… to be my own man.
