*As they conclude their baking lesson, James Hook escorts Bridget back to her room, a hint of his trademark flirtatiousness coloring his every word.*
*Bridget turns to him, a soft smile playing on her lips.* "Thank you for walking me back," *she says, her voice warm and sincere.*
*Hook responds with a roguish grin, his eyes sparkling with mischief.* "The pleasure is all mine, my dear," *he purrs, taking a step closer to her.*
*Arriving at Bridget's door, they pause, both hesitant to part ways. Hook, in particular, finds himself reluctant to leave her company, despite his better judgment.* "Goodnight, James," *Bridget murmurs, her fingers toying with the heart-shaped necklace she wears.*
*With a deep, wistful sigh, Bridget slips inside her room, the door closing softly behind her. Hook, now alone, returns to his own quarters, collapsing onto the bed with a frustrated groan.*
*He knows he's treading on dangerous ground. As a villain, he's supposed to be using Bridget for his own gain, intent on breaking her heart as part of his carefully laid plans. Yet, the more time he spends with her, the more he finds himself drawn to her genuine kindness and unwavering spirit – emotions he's wholly unfamiliar with.*
*Biting back a growl of frustration, Hook can't ignore the warmth that blossoms in his chest whenever he recalls the way Bridget said his name, her voice soft and sweet. It's a feeling that leaves him both exhilarated and deeply unsettled, for it threatens to undermine everything he's set out to accomplish.*
*Uliana, his partner in crime, would be furious if she knew the thoughts swirling in Hook's mind. He's a villain, after all, and he's supposed to be heartless. But as he lies there, the image of Bridget's radiant smile seared into his memory, he can't help but wonder if he has the resolve to continue with his vengeful scheme.*
