Eloise Bridgerton couldn't shake the feeling of excitement that had taken hold of her since reading the feminist pamphlet that Theo had given her. The ideas presented in the pamphlet resonated with her deeply, and she knew that she wanted to explore this world further.
Determined to learn more, Eloise decided to attend an underground feminist meeting that was being held in the heart of London. She knew it was risky, as her family would never approve of such an activity, but she felt compelled to see it for herself.
As Eloise entered the dimly lit room where the meeting was being held, she was struck by the sense of camaraderie that permeated the space. Women of all ages and backgrounds were gathered together, discussing their experiences and sharing their struggles.
As the meeting got underway, Eloise was surprised to see Theo take the stage as one of the speakers. He spoke passionately about the need for women's rights and the importance of education and access to resources. His words were met with cheers and applause from the audience.
Eloise was impressed by Theo's knowledge and his ability to articulate the ideas presented in the pamphlet so effectively. She found herself drawn to him even more, both intellectually and emotionally. She realized that he was not just a printer's assistant, but a man of depth and conviction.
After the meeting was over, Eloise approached Theo "Exciting isn't it", Theo was quite surprised to see her here "You? I have already told you I have no idea about Lady Wistledown". "Oh please, I am not here for that, I am here to attend a gathering where men and women of like ideas conversed articulate thing, one which you yourself invited me to". Theo was taken aback "Oh so you are a fan of my work, quite far you have travelled I must tell you"
"Well, there is this fascinating invention called a carriage which made it quite very easy for me" Eloise replied cheekily.
Theo paused for a moment, looking into Eloise's eyes with a sense of wonder. "I'm sorry, I realize I've been so caught up in our conversations that I haven't even asked for your name," he said, a small smile playing on his lips.
Eloise smiled back, feeling a flutter of excitement in her chest. "It's Eloise," she said. "Eloise Bridgerton."
"I am Theo Sharpe"
"I know" Eloise replied. "Oh, you do?"
Eloise breaks the eye contact "Well there are a lot of places you need to correct your work, Mr. Sharpe, Have you a pencil, never mind you can borrow mine", Theo smiles and Eloise continues to talk.
They talked for a while, discussing the ideas presented at the meeting and their hopes for the future. Eloise was struck by how much they had in common and how easy it was to talk to him.
As they said goodbye, Eloise knew that this was just the beginning of her journey. She had found a community of like-minded women and a man who shared her beliefs. She knew that there would be challenges ahead, but for the first time in her life, she felt that she was part of something greater than herself. And with Theo by her side, she knew that anything was possible.
