cornflower blue hues glanced away from the printed words and to the woman on her side , " it sounds like you wish for me to continue humming to you . " frannie jested before she begun humming yet another song she had learnt over the years .

she struggles in the moment to keep her eyes open, and surely she would regret such a thing when she cannot sleep after dark, but until the moment, she simply basks in the warm sun and the sweet melody. ❝ do you often hum when you read ? ❞

"yes well mostly i've been known to have a forgiving heart, one that allows second chances," he stated gently, "you can distance yourself from someone and allow yourself a moment to collect yourself but can you truly shun a friend who has been with you through it all if they are exactly that?"

❝ i must say, you're a better man than i. ❞ given that she wasn't even a man was probably the most honest of the fact, but should she find out who lady whistledown is, if they were her friend, she doesn't think she would still be their friend. ❝ if they are willing to share your secrets, how can you trust them ? ❞

"i'm sorry, i didn't see you there," sebastian apologized as he tripped over the hem of her dress.

with a heavy groan, lucia rustles the bottom of skirt into her grip until her ankles peak out. ❝ this dress is utterly ridiculous, i'm sorry. ❞

❝ most definitely. ❞ and more importantly, her mother often didn't have the patience to traipse through the gardens to find her and gave her an extra hour or so of peace before she descends in order to fulfil some seasons preparations.

pursing his lips he felt himself frown for a moment, what would he do? sebastian honestly had no idea in that moment. "honestly i'm not sure, i would potentially be a little hurt depending on what's been written and then i would ask them why and why they thought it as a good idea," he offered softly.

❝ i suppose i should commend you. ❞ she offers lightly. ❝ you have a kind heart, it seems, many would shun them and even cut them off without a second thought. ❞

perhaps a rare sunny day was what she was in need of, with her back in the cool grass, dress no doubt soon to be covered in grass stains, lucia couldn’t help but simply watch the clouds dance across the never ending blue. counting shapes that she seen. it was a rarity the girl was ever seen without a book in grasp or at least something, but the book had been discarded for something more lazy. ❝ the day seemed too lovely to let it pass my by. ❞

amelie listened attentively to the stranger’s words, taking in the peaceful atmosphere and the simple joy the woman found in observing the clouds. amelie smiled warmly, appreciating her decision to embrace the beauty of the day.

“it’s wonderful to see you enjoying the day like this,” amelie replied, her voice gentle and empathetic. “sometimes, it’s important to take a break from our usual routines and simply be present in the moment. it seems like you’ve found a perfect way to do that.”

lucia gives a light yawn before turning to the girl, ❝ i fear this is part of a daily routine, my mother thinks me to be practising my embroidery and instead i’m daydreaming. ❞ the girl admits shamelessly, glancing down at the discarded materials.

a soft and melodic laugh left the young bridgerton's lips as she continued reading the book that was in her hands . francesca had noticed lucia grow sleepy and had decided to hum a lullaby she knew well . " are you always so flattery to the people who sing you to sleep ? " she jested .

#━ › 𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑠𝑒. ⋰ general.#━ › 𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑠𝑒. ⋰ feat . . . francesca.

lucia rolls to her side, peering sleepily at the girl beside her with a small smile. ❝ no, just you frannie, just you, and you continue i am going to fall asleep. ❞ and she very much wanted that.

━ › @frannieb ! ━ › 𝑚𝑒𝑚𝑒 𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑚𝑝𝑡 ⸻ [ 𝐇𝐔𝐌 ] ― sender hums a lullaby to lull receiver to sleep.

eye lids are heavy and she cannot help but stretch her legs across the large window seat the pair basked in. ❝ how is you have the sweetest voice and the prettiest eyes. ❞ she mumbles sleepily.

"her gossip can be of interest at times but no one deserves to have their secrets released before they are ready to share them," he admitted thinking back to his sweet moments shared with clara. "i'm more curious to simply confront them and see how they knew every move of everyone for it truly isn't fair."

#━ › 𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑠𝑒. ⋰ general.#━ › 𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑠𝑒. ⋰ feat . . . sebastian.

lucia's head bobs in thought, taking in his words as she ponders the thoughts, chewing on her lip. ❝ what would you do if it were someone close to you ? ❞

" i fear for whoever captures eloise's attention as a potential life partner , " amusement laced her tone as she imagined how her older sister would react if she were to ever fall in love . " no rush at all . i have absolutely no plans for this day besides spending time with you . "

#━ › 𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑠𝑒. ⋰ general.#━ › 𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑠𝑒. ⋰ feat . . . francesca.

❝ perhaps the both of us are to be surprised, and she fall madly in love. ❞ but the look on her face held the girls doubt in front of the blonde. ❝ and that day sounds entirely magnificent to me. ❞

" that sounds like a wonderful plan to me . i need to also purchase some new gloves from the modiste and it would be better to go with you than ask eloise to accompany me . " they both knew eloise would rather do anything else than enter the modiste to buy a garment . francesca adored her sister but she knew asking such a thing would cause her older sister to go off on a rant . the strawberry blonde stood up from the couch with a warm smile on her lips , " shall we head off ? "

#━ › 𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑠𝑒. ⋰ general.#━ › 𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑠𝑒. ⋰ feat . . . francesca.

❝ as much as i adore eloise, we both know that it would a nightmare just to walk by the modiste. ❞ she chuckles, shaking her head at even the thought. ❝ we shall, perhaps we can take the long way past the park first, the streets are often busy this time and we're in no rush, are we ? ❞

he couldn't help but chuckle softly at her words, it wasn't as though she were funny to him but the passion she held was entertaining. it was refreshing to have one serious about something other than silly dresses and parties. "well i hope that if you ever figure it out that i be the first one you come running to with information."

lucia takes a moment to flex her fingers in her lap, knuckles cracking on their own accord as she mulls over his words, he would certainly not be the first, but telling a man what he wanted to hear was often the way to get away with most things. ❝ i surely do so, everyone else seems to only care for her gossip. ❞ eloise aside of course.

[ SHARED ] sender is laying on the floor/ground for some reason and sender simply joins them.

Amelie noticed that the woman was lying on the floor or ground for some reason. Curiosity piqued, she approached the sender and observed their position. Without hesitation, Amélie decided to join them, curious to find out the reason behind their actions.

With a gentle smile, Amelie settled down beside the stranger, mirroring their posture. She maintained a calm and non-intrusive presence, offering them a moment of silent companionship. Amelie believed that sometimes, connecting with someone on a deeper level didn’t always require words. By being present, she hoped to convey her support and willingness to understand.

In this peaceful ambiance, Amelie gently broke the silence with a soft-spoken question, “May I ask what led you here? “

" i simply felt the desire to spend time with someone who was not born a bridgerton , " there was no one frannie adored more than her siblings but ever since anthony had found out about having had danced with michael at a ball , he had been frustrating . pushing thoughts out of her mind , the strawberry blonde smiled at lucia , " what should we do ?

lucia could understand such a comment, though she was only one of two, she certainly knew the trials and tribulations of having an older brother. ❝ such an honour. ❞ she muses, falling into the seat across from the younger bridgerton, raising a brow. ❝ we could promenade, i would like to check the bookstore, i still have some pin money to spend. ❞

"i wish i could understand how society as a whole works but alas i am a mere pawn in this game of life," he shot back with a small sigh. if he had the answers they sought he would gladly give but he was stuck just as she. "perhaps someday they will slip up and their identity revealed, one can only hope right?"
