(Taking a break)
Grace Fawn, named because of her beauty and grace, caught the eyes of many suitors. Gentle and kind, but uninterested in marriage. She would instead care for her fallen family and care for others than herself. Something Anthony Bridgerton has in common with Miss Fawn. As delicate and kind as Miss Fawn may be, her stubbornness and smarts outwit the suitors, causing her to be alone because who wants a woman who is ambitious, innovative, and speaks her mind?
"Here are the emeralds you requested, my lady," Isabelle said, placing down a pair of earrings.
"Oh, thank you, Izzy," Grace uttered, lifting her hair slightly so Isabelle could put the matching emerald necklace on. Grace has always had a connection with emeralds. The shades of green glittering in the light ever so nicely, if not emeralds, it was amethyst. Some ladies loved jewels just because they showed off their wealth. Grace, however, was different. She did not care about wealth. She treasured those gems because of their connection with nature.
"I shall go see if the carriage is ready," Izzy smiled, turning to leave the room.
"Do you believe there is any way I could be home before dark Izzy?" Grace turned, stopping Izzy by the door.
"I do not believe so, my lady," She looked sorrowfully, "but I will see to it that Aster is doing well." Izzy smiled.
"Thank you," Grace nodded, turning around to her dressing mirror.
"You can't scare away every man who shows up at my door!"
"I can damn well try." He kept his tone quiet as he stepped closer to her. "You have no idea of the grip you have on me Hanford and I'll be damned if you fall in love with someone who isn't me."
Aurora Hanford was just hoping for the best outcome for her debut season. She didn't account for Benjamin Bridgerton to make a mess out of her life with little to no words. He presented himself in her life very prominently and the girl quickly grew fond of his watchful gaze and hushed words. Aurora found herself falling for the brooding man and he realized he was falling just as deeply. Neither expected their love to form as something more or to blossom as it quickly did. Their love was a fairytale in a world where true love unions were extremely rare. They had their naysayers, their supporters, but most importantly they had each other. Even if in the beginning, neither knew it just yet.
