Eloise Bridgerton couldn't resist the pull of her curiosity any longer. Despite Penelope's warning ringing in her ears, she found herself unable to shake off her fascination with Theo and his ideas. One day, her determination outweighed her apprehension, and she made up her mind to sneak out of her home and venture downtown to visit him.

As she walked through the bustling streets, Eloise's heart raced with a mix of excitement and nervousness. She knew that her actions were not considered proper for a woman of her social standing, but a rebellious spirit burned within her, fueling her steps towards Theo's printing shop.

Theo was taken aback when he saw Eloise standing in his shop. A smile broke across his face as he greeted her, but he couldn't help but notice the nervous energy radiating from her. "Eloise, what a pleasant surprise! To what do I owe this unexpected visit?" he asked, his curiosity piqued.

Eloise took a deep breath, gathering her courage. "I've come to return the books you lent me," she said, extending a small stack toward him. "But if I'm being honest, Theo, it's not just about the books. I wanted to see you, to continue our conversations."

Theo's eyes lit up with understanding. "I suspected as much," he replied with a gentle nod. "There's a fire within you, Eloise, a hunger for knowledge and change. I've seen it in your eyes during our discussions. You're not like the other women of our society."

A blush spread across Eloise's cheeks, a mixture of embarrassment and pride. "I've discovered a whole new world through the feminist movement, Theo. It has opened my eyes to the injustices faced by women, and I can't help but feel a responsibility to fight for our rights."

Theo's admiration for Eloise grew with each word she spoke. "Your passion is contagious, Eloise. I've longed for someone who shares my convictions, who sees beyond the confines of society's expectations. You inspire me."

They continued talking, their voices blending harmoniously in the small shop. Eloise found solace in Theo's presence, as if their souls were connected through their shared beliefs. The hours slipped away unnoticed, lost in the depths of their conversation.

As the evening began to wane, Eloise checked the time with a sense of urgency. "I must leave before I'm missed," she said, a hint of disappointment tingeing her voice. "But, Theo, this isn't goodbye. I know that our paths will cross again. We have so much more to discuss, so much more to fight for."

Theo nodded, his eyes filled with determination. "You're right, Eloise. Our connection is too strong to be severed by mere circumstances. We will continue our journey together, fighting for the rights and freedoms we deserve."

With a final, lingering glance, Eloise bid farewell to Theo, her heart filled with hope and anticipation. As she retraced her steps through the streets of the city, she felt a renewed sense of purpose. She knew that her visit to Theo's printing shop was not just a daring escapade but a stepping stone on her path to independence and freedom


P.S : The dialogues and storyline may not match the one with the series as its hard to go episode by episode, but even wth slight changes I hope you enjoy it
