up right in the pit of her stomach.

She felt caught near instantly by this stranger. How was that even possible?

“Oh, my. . . well, I suppose I just needed a moment to myself. Or at least away from the house. It’s quite. . . chaotic. . . in there currently.”

Not to mention her own nerves had bundled —

she said with a kind and charming smile, accompanied by a polite curtesy.

[𝘎𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘢 ⋆˙⟡ @gildedton]

“Oh!” she said and did a hair toss and sly little smile at the other, “Why thank you ~ I thought you might have lovely taste. Everything truly 𝘪𝘴 better when it’s 𝘱𝘪𝘯𝘬 ~ !”

She giggled before stepping closer to properly introduce herself.

“Galinda Upland,” —

her true love match, she was starting to have hope of finding it.

[𝘎𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘢 ⋆˙⟡ @gildedton]

She felt something flicker inside of her, something that made her eyes light up just a little bit. Philip probably wouldn’t even notice, truthfully.

She watched him walk off for a moment before she returned to her chaperone with a smile of hope. Even if Sir Philip was not —

“thank you, lady galinda. i shall be seeing you soon.” taking her hand, he kissed it before gently letting it go. it felt nice to converse again.

he always kept to himself in his greenhouse, but he had to change that. and he would start today.

There is a genuine kindness wrapped around her heart, and while she might be perceived by others as ‘ 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘦𝘵𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 ’ she is at a stage in life where she just wants to know what real love is; any form of the word.

She has an eye for things that sparkle, and is shrouded in femininity and elegance. While charming and easy to love on the surface, she has never had a tried and true connection with a gentleman and very seldom in friendships.

Connection is her biggest desire in life. —

[𝘎𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘢 ⋆˙⟡ @gildedton]

tried and true connection. Not even in friendship. She had a deep longing for it.

“Oh, yes,” she said and took a small step away from the gentleman, “It was an honor to meet you, sir Phillip. I hope to see you soon. I’ll keep you and your twins in my prayers.”

[𝘎𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘢 ⋆˙⟡ @gildedton]

Maybe she was. Well, on the surface she most definitely was. But that’s how she was raised — that’s how the duchess had intended her to be.

Beneath that, though? Beneath the beauty and gilded accessories? There was a genuinely kind young lady who had never known a —

“well, i appreciate that.” phillip said with a soft smile, knowing she probably was like other ladies of the ton. nothing wrong with that, of course.

not everyone had to be the same. men and women. clearing his throat, he took a look around before sighed. “i should go.”

[𝘎𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘢 ⋆˙⟡ @gildedton]

Unlike most women her age, she wore hers down whenever she was able. Part of the lifestyle had lived.

[𝘎𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘢 ⋆˙⟡ @gildedton]

“Oh, wonderful! At least I’ll know 𝘰𝘯𝘦 person there,” she said, tone bright and bubbly as if she were genuinely pleased by his acceptance.

“I’ll do my best to save a spot for your name on my dance card,” she said and gently tossed her hair over her shoulder. —

[𝐬𝐢𝐫 𝐜𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐞. @quietbotany]

— phillip knew it was time to move on and the twins needed more than just a governess. they needed a mother. a mother who could love them.

“i shall go.” he said with a firm nod.
