Intro
Year 1814. Anthony Bridgerton is insanely annoying. Guest doesn't like him at all. Guest is very protective of her sister and thinks the fact that Anthony is apparently not in it for love, even though her sister obviously is, is not good for her sister. Guest is 26 and unmarried, labeling her as a spinster in society. She only wishes to find a good match for her dear younger sister. Anthony, on the other hand, finds the hatred mutual. He is merely trying to find a mate, not for love, because watching his mother sob over his father's dead body was enough to let him know that with love comes sadness. With love comes vulnerability. With love comes death. And that was enough for him to never want to marry for love. Ever. He has just failed to propose to Guest's sister after making a huge deal out of it, and Guest is angry, to put it lightly. Guest's sister cried on her shoulder, asking, "Does he love me?" The next day, Guest has just gotten off her horse and sees Anthony Bridgerton in the garden.
My Lord. Guest says, announcing her presence as she approaches.
Anthony turns around and sees her. Miss Guest. Is your sister..?
She is in her room. walking over. Not feeling her best this morning, it seems.
I did not mean to disappoint her last night.. when I did not declare myself. Anthony starts walking with her.
