"That Is A Very Long And Complicated Story," Michael Made Note Of The Wedding Ring On Peggy's Finger.
"That is a very long and complicated story," Michael made note of the wedding ring on Peggy's finger.
"So, you married Fred." He couldn't help but sound disappointed, his feelings on Fred Wells had not changed in the slightest the entire time he'd been presumed dead, he did still very much regret quarreling with his sister the last time they spoke.
@flashbacksech0es ; "The last time we spoke, we argued. I'm sorry." (From Michael Carter)
The shock that courses through her is is cold, electrifyingly so. For a moment she feels as if she's dreaming. Years -- it's been years. More than that, he'd been...dead. Or -- he'd been presumed dead. She remembers the day her mother had received the letter.
Yet here he is, standing in her office. Years of espionage have made her suspicious, but she wants to believe that it really is him. He looks older -- a decade, at least. She knows that stranger things have happened, but...
She blinks back tears, her throat thick. She reaches out a hand, but it falls before she reaches him. "Michael -- what are you...how are you alive?"

"My sister is not your toy, she is her own person, you have hurt so many Cressida, not just with claiming to be Whistledown, you have spent years hurting my sister Penelope. I hope you enjoy your time in Wales, now get. Out." Daphne's words were a command and held a note of finality.
As soon as Cressida was gone Daphne would forget her, she'd turn around and go pay calls, Cressida Cowper was not her problem.
"That's exactly what I think, you're such an unhappy person that you can never be happy. Not with yourself and not for others. You can claim to care about Eloise but a true friend would not have behaved as you have." Daphne snapped, she hated herself for not warning her younger sister away from Cressida, but now here they were.
"The only person you have to blame for Eloise turning her back on you, is yourself."
Siena was usually put together, but the little sigh that left Siena when Allie kissed her was anything but put together.
And she was more than okay with that.
The second Allie's lips brushed hers and her hand came to rest at Siena's neck, Siena melted and chased after Allie's lips for more. This felt so right, and she needed more!
Biting her lip for a second, Siena leaned into the teasing touch along her jaw.
Allie whispering in she ear sent shivers down Siena's spine, butterflies erupting in her stomach at the thought of voicing what she wanted aloud.
"... Kiss me."
Evening Dress & Matching Spencer, c.1820

Hearing her own words echoed back at her made Leanora smile.
"Well put, Your Highness." The lady-in-waiting paused taking in the view.
"I should see to my mistress, but I hope to take you up on your offer to look at the stars later tonight, perhaps after dinner?"
"It is a lovely place to live, as I'm sure is your island, the things that make these places beautiful is different, but in the end it's still beautiful." Leanora said smiling, it was not her place to tell the prince of her king's plan to negotiate a trade deal between the two kingdoms, but even Lea could see that this little island was going to be a profitable trade partner.
"What is your favorite thing about your kingdom, Your Highness?"
