"It Is No Trouble, Thinya." Daphne Squeezed The Brunette's Hand And Watched Her Friend Slip Away Before

"It is no trouble, Thinya." Daphne squeezed the brunette's hand and watched her friend slip away before returning to the role of hostess. The next afternoon Daphne went to Thinya's home with the excuse of inviting her to promenade with her and then join her for tea.

The Duchess had been planning most of the night, Benedict was going to notice Thinya if it was the last thing he did.

"Oh, of course, but that doesn't mean we can't nudge him in that direction." Daphne said, with a wink.

Her brother was not unlike any other man. He could be nudged in any direction if one was smart about it.

"You and I will speak tomorrow. If you want to sneak off to the library, I won't tell."

“Let’s stay in tonight.”. - John - Rebecca @storyofwhoiam

"That sounds amazing." Becca could really use a night in after a hard shift.

"Do you want me to pick up dinner on the way home or do you want to cook? We can pick something to watch when I get there."

"I'm glad too..." Sienna couldn't tear her eyes away from Allie's lips, they looked so soft and Siena would be lying if she wasn't curious what if would feel like to kiss her.

"... I think I would like that distraction now, if you're willing."

Siena knew there were women that liked women, she'd never really thought about if she was one of them, Allie had been good enough to let Siena stay with her, it was better than being out on the streets, she didn't dislike Allie, and now the way she was looking at her and pushing her hair out of her face, she really was beautiful.

"Tell me what you're thinking."

Siena laughed and leaned into his touch, John truly was a good man, and sometimes she wondered what exactly she'd done to deserve him.

"Such a gentleman," Sienna teased back, she wished that she could stay here with him. And shut the world out, she wouldn't have to sing unless she wanted to. And he could buy them a home and design the most beautiful garden of his career for her.

"Come sit, just for a minute."

“Have you seen my shirt?” allie or john @ siena @storyofwhoiam

"It's on the line." Siena said, smiling at John as he searched for the garment. This life wasn't the glamorous one she had lived only a year ago as the mistress of Viscount Bridgerton.

But this life was a happy one.

Moving to stand near John, Siena turned his face and kissed him.

"I can go get it for you, though I much prefer how you look now."
