Your Hands Are Freezing! Anthony @ Francesca! Gonna Go Eat Dinner But Then I'll Send Moooore @strxngertogether

“Your hands are freezing!” Anthony @ Francesca! Gonna go eat dinner but then I'll send moooore @strxngertogether

Francesca knew it was late and leave it to her oldest brother to find her out of bed in the middle of the night, but he wasn't scolding her.

Just holding her ice-cold hands and sitting next to her on the settee.

"I couldn't sleep, I wanted to practice, but I didn't want to wake anyone, so I was waiting for sunrise."

"Do you think anyone will notice if we slip away?" Anthony @ Kate! @strxngertogether

Kate couldn't help herself, she smiled, she really shouldn't encourage Anthony.

"We literally just arrived, my lord." Kate pointed out, keeping her voice down so others wouldn't over hear.

"Besides, shouldn't you be watching your siblings and keeping them out of trouble?"

“ how  many  times  am  i  to  be  ordered  to  marry  the  man  sitting  next  to  me  at  dinner ? ” Prudence @ Kate! @strxngertogether

Kate smiled politely, she didn't know exactly what to say to Miss Featherington. They weren't friends but Prudence had chosen that Kate was worthy of confiding in.

"It might not be horrible, you might find you like him once you get to know him."

[ LACE ] for one muse to hook their arm around the other’s while they walk. eloise @ gracie @storyofwhoiam

Outsiders saw two debutants, two friends, promenading arm in arm. Gracie knew there was nothing scandalous in that.

Gracie would take any time with Eloise she could get, but she would be lying if she didn't want to be open about how crazy she was for Eloise Bridgerton.

"Your sister-in-law invited me to Aubrey Hall... I'd like to explore the grounds while we're there."

[ no tears ]  –  for the sender to cup the receiver’s face and brush away their tears with their thumbs. reverse Gregory @ Daphne! @strxngertogether

Daphne wasn't sure what was wrong but she'd seen Gregory storm out and now found her youngest brother clearly upset.

Shutting the door behind her Daphne sat opposite of Gregory and gently took his face in her hands and dried his tears.

"You don't have to tell me anything, but I'm here if you wish to."
