That is… a bit concerning.

Perhaps I should have stayed indoors. 🧍

Very normal. Truthfully, this is rather calm

~ her apology.

“I believe it is in tune, but I must admit, I do not know how to play. but if you would like to try and see, I would be most pleased to hear.”

his words are an invitation, almost asking if she would do him the honor, hands moving to intertwine behind his back.

[— 𝑳𝑶𝑹𝑫 𝑶𝑳𝑰𝑽𝑰𝑬𝑹.ᐟ @lordedlies]

⠀⠀ ⠀ she moved away from him with such grace, he could not have been given any choice but to watch as she approached the grand piano as if it were a piece of treasure.

his smile only brightened when she spoke so excitedly, the idea of playing the instrument set ~

~ her eyes alight, cobalt blue shining like sparkling lake waters.

but then it fades, replaced by a pinkish hue upon her features and joel’s shoulders deflate slightly.

“do not apologize, please,” he says quickly with a shake of his cranium, nearly cutting off ~

[— 𝑳𝑶𝑹𝑫 𝑶𝑳𝑰𝑽𝑰𝑬𝑹.ᐟ @lordedlies]

⠀⠀ ⠀ this is normal?

[* 𝓕𝑹𝑨𝑵𝑪𝑬𝑺𝑪𝑨 @SlLENTSYMPHONY]

It is a normal day in my family, truthfully

~ to it.”
his voice and words are humble, giving credit where it is due.

when they step into the drawing room, joel gently releases his arm and gestures to the vast space.

“please, sit anywhere you’d like, miss bridgerton. make yourself comfortable.”

[— 𝑳𝑶𝑹𝑫 𝑶𝑳𝑰𝑽𝑰𝑬𝑹.ᐟ @lordedlies]

⠀⠀ ⠀ indeed, the feeling of being within francesca’s presence was one of comfort and understanding — two likeminded individuals amongst a society that viewed the world much differently than themselves.

she was one of his first friends, one of the first to bestow kindness ~

[* 𝓕𝑹𝑨𝑵𝑪𝑬𝑺𝑪𝑨 @SlLENTSYMPHONY]

+ sense. She saw the world differently from others, a way no one else seemed to understand, but Joel understood.

He could see how she saw the world.

“I am? Well, I am glad to be welcomed here. You have a beautiful home, My Lord.”

[— 𝑳𝑶𝑹𝑫 𝑶𝑳𝑰𝑽𝑰𝑬𝑹.ᐟ @lordedlies]

~ where most had not.

albeit he does not realize that the feeling he harbors for the bridgerton woman is not 𝙨𝙞𝙢𝙥𝙡𝙮 friendship.

“I am glad you think so. the late baron did have an eye for decoration. but I have also done my best to add a new sort of life ~

⠀⠀ ⠀ staring off into space. he has made a realization about himself ( and his stance on marriage ) and is unsure how to deal with it.

[— 𝑳𝑶𝑹𝑫 𝑶𝑳𝑰𝑽𝑰𝑬𝑹.ᐟ @lordedlies]

⠀⠀ ⠀ he’s surprised by the sudden voice, flinching slightly. he doesn’t turn to look at the man just yet — instead closing his eyes and gathering himself before facing the other with a half-hearted smile.

“just . . . needing some air, lord pevensie.”

[ᅠˢⁱʳ 𝖊𝐝𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐝 . *ᅠ @lowerheir]

being unnoticed is something he's used to at this point, blending in with the shadows when he steps to the side. though he recognizes the lord that steps out with a fast—paced breath and decides to speak. “ feeling suffocated .ᐣ ”

⠀⠀ ⠀ oh? then keep me in suspense no longer. what is it?

i come to you, lord olivier, with spectacular news. ( 👺 )

[— 𝑳𝑶𝑹𝑫 𝑶𝑳𝑰𝑽𝑰𝑬𝑹.ᐟ @lordedlies]

~ she herself was. and he realized then that he enjoyed it immensely.

“it is my absolute pleasure,” he smiled softly after breaking himself from the reverie that enveloped him. “did you know that you are the first guest to grace these halls since I took it over?”

[— 𝑳𝑶𝑹𝑫 𝑶𝑳𝑰𝑽𝑰𝑬𝑹.ᐟ @lordedlies]

⠀⠀ ⠀once she took his offered arm, he lead her through the halls of the carsairs estate. the proximity to one another was the closest they had ever been, and something within his chest tightened when he caught the scent of her perfume.

it was as fresh and beautiful as ~

[* 𝓕𝑹𝑨𝑵𝑪𝑬𝑺𝑪𝑨 @SlLENTSYMPHONY]

+ something fuelled with emotion and love, written for his ears only.

Making a mental note to start playing such a piece, Francesca allowed Joel to start leading the way.

“Thank you for the invitation, my lord.”
