The Bridgerton effect

1

Penelope, our mother and I, sitting in the coach. I quietly looked out the window.  My mother Portia was not a big speaker to us. Penelope is 19, and i'm 21, both not married to a rich lord. But i dont care, I like to be alone and read or draw. Penelope is like me, but our sisters are....special. Prudence and Phillippa do what our mother says. If she said jump in front of a carriage......yes, they would do that. But back to us. We follow our mother to Genevieve Delacrotix, and she designs all the dresses.

Penelope is looking at all the debutants and the paper in their hands. I nudged her with my elbow. "My lovely sister, what have you written about this ladies?" She looks at me with a smug smile."I don't know what you are talking about, sister." I smile to her.

When our mother was distracted, I whispered to my sister, "Come we go, this is boring." i grabbed her arm and went out on the street. We go in a comfortable silence, and nobody needs to talk. Penelope stops and looks at the Bridgerton house. A sad smile came over my lips. I put a hand on her shoulder. "Hey, you'll get through this. I know you're hurt. Just give her time to heal." As we were about to move on, we heard loud laughter from a group of young girls. Someone was standing in the middle of everyone, but you couldn't see who. Until the group split up. Out came Colin and... Henry. My Henry... Henry Bridgerton.

I can't believe he's back, and looks so...good. He always looked so good, but now. He looks even better. Everyone from the Bridgerton family fell into his and Colin's arms. Penelope slowly turned to me and took my hand. "Can we go, please? I know you want to say hello to Henry, but..."No, I understand. Come on, let's go."

The way to the garden party lasts what feels like an eternity. When we were there, you saw people playing games or talking. (It's probably all just gossip)I went to the drinks and took a glass. When I looked around for someone I might know, my search was immediately disappointed. So I went and strolled through the garden and watched the other guests.

At the same time:

3rd Person:

Henry stood with Colin in a crowd full of girls. They all looked at him with interest. Colin flattered them to no end. When Henry looked away, he saw a familiar bow. "Sorry, I have to go," he said goodbye and followed the girl.

Mabel p.o.v

It slowly got more and more boring, and my thoughts drifted to Henry. What would he say? "Hey, I'm sorry I didn't say goodbye or "Hey Mabel, I just left you a letter with a tulip." I really don't know if I can forgive him.

I was so lost in thought that I didn't notice when someone tapped me on the shoulder. I turned around, startled. "Henry," I looked into his eyes... no, don't fall for it. Always stay strong. "Mabel... hello, I'm sorry." I reached out and slapped him. He held his cheek and looked at me with a shocked expression. "Idiot," I turned around and walked back with tears in my eyes.
