SPECIFY muse for multimuses.
“ Are you feeling better, dearest? ”
“ You do not seem pleased. Whatever is wrong? ”
“ I knew there was something between you! ”
“ Well, tell me. Tell me everything! ”
“ You do not need to tell me anything. ”
“ You are getting what you always wanted. ”
“ It will be the grandest wedding of the year. ”
“ Has something happened? ”
“ I believe you will know what love feels like soon enough. ”
“ You think I am to follow in your footsteps? ”
“ Can there be a more dreadful fate? ”
“ The only thing I am grateful for is that I am not you, nor will I ever be. ”
“ I thought we shared an understanding with our discussions of the future. ”
“ My goodness! If anything, I am the one forcing him. ”
“ Love is surely the greatest force of all. ”
“ Nothing can stand between us. ”
“ It was a pleasure to know you. ”
“ I look forward to counting you as part of our family. ”
“ She does not owe me anything. ”
“ Have you not done enough? ”
“ I applaud you. I bring you flowers on each of my visits, and yet you still react with admirable surprise every time. ”
“ I shall need to bring you something unexpected. ”
“ Her happiness is your greatest concern. ”
“ I promise you will not be disappointed. ”
“ Oh, I do hope your wedding dress will be ready in time. ”
“ While you may be content to accept defeat, it is certainly not how I approach things. ”
“ I take that duty with the utmost seriousness. ”
“ You have always been a terrible shit. ”
“ Surely we must be able to do something? ”
“ Now, where is the dinner I was promised? ”
“ Please, come in. Make yourself at home. ”
“ Apologies. Have we met? ”
“ I see my reputation precedes me. ”
“ Feelings are irrelevant. Indeed, they're responsible for this mess. ”
“ You will seduce him? ”
“ He is not so little anymore. ”
“ After your meal, perhaps we could take a walk, like we used to do. ”
“ It is quite late for you to be up, too, is it not? ”
“ If you're nervous about the wedding, you need not worry. ”
“ I am not quite sure what you believe I am to do about it. ”
“ It was not love at first sight for either of us. ”
“ We found something far greater. We found friendship. ”
“ Her laughter brings me joy. ”
“ To meet a beautiful woman is one thing, but to meet your best friend in the most beautiful of women is something entirely apart. ”
“ I want her to be my wife. ”
“ Do you wish to marry this man? ”
“ I suppose congratulations are in order ”
“ I do hope you will remember my kindness in keeping secrets and repay me someday. ”
“ You can choose anyone but him. ”
“ Perhaps you would find it acceptable for me to live my life with a man who treats me like a mere beast? ”
“ I am beginning to feel a bit faint. ”
“ We should not be alone in here. ”
“ I know we have only known each other a short while, but… well, would you want to marry me? ”
“ You deserve a grand wedding. ”
“ I must say, I am honored and most grateful for your presence. ”
“ I hope you made the right choice. ”
“ You certainly enjoy spreading secrets, do you not? ”
“ Dear child, have you lost your wits? ”
“ I am flattered by your accusation, but it is simply not true. ”
“ What evidence have you gathered? ”
“ Tell me what you know. ”
“ What happened the other night? ”
“ I suppose I have put this conversation off for as long as I can. ”
“ Well, what do you recommend? ”
“ I'm sure you'll enjoy the peace and quiet. ”
“ I am going to miss all of you terribly. ”
“ I have a present for you. ”
“ I know we could not be any more different, but there is one thing we do share. ”
“ We need to rest before continuing on in the morning. ”
“ We should go down to dinner. ”
“ You have avoided my presence. ”
“ You have said all but a few words to me. ”
“ I could not bear witness to the misery I have caused you. ”
“ I cannot stop thinking of you. ”
“ From the mornings you ease, to the evenings you quiet, to the dreams you inhabit… my thoughts of you never end. ”
“ I am yours. I have always been yours. ”
“ You look angry and bothered. ”
“ It is you I cannot sacrifice. ”
“ I burn for you. ”
“ It has been so long since we have been blessed with your presence. ”
“ I am looking forward to making your acquaintance. ”
“ I'm no good at those things. I'll only make a fool of myself. ”
“ May I have everyone's attention? ”
“ Do you think this is a joke? ”
“ You are an ass. Do you know that? ”
“ I must make a good impression. ”
“ I am certain there is much left to see. ”
“ I found myself in continual awe of their beauty. ”
“ I knew you were flirting with her, but you flirt with plenty of young ladies. ”
“ I am not sure I have ever seen you so solemn and serious. ”
“ I was not prepared to let another of you fly the nest so soon. ”
“ It pains me you should think every compliment a mockery. ”
“ You think so little of me, I cannot bear it. ”
“ Please do not tell me you regret it. ”
“ I cannot condone your actions. ”
“ I am afraid that is not possible. ”
“ You have such a unique accent, and yet I have never asked where you're from. ”
“ I am not fooled by your little act. ”
“ I am sure we can find a solution to these difficulties, and I thank you for bringing them to our attention. ”
“ Oh, there, there, there, child. No need to cry. ”
“ I did not realize my absence would be felt this way. ”
“ You know, oddly enough, when I am actually in the presence of children, I forget all about my own concerns. They are the easiest company in the world. ”
“ I have all that I want just here. ”
“ I am very sorry. But this plan of yours, I find it wanting. ”
“ What were your favorite pastimes in the country? ”
“ Oh dear, what can the matter be? ”
“ You really are very good. You know that? ”
“ My own father does not want me. ”
“ Fool that I am, I truly thought that with your family, I might finally find acceptance. ”
“ We shall make our own family, you and me. ”
“ It is all I want. It is all I want in the world. ”
“ I wish we could be married this very minute. ”
“ We just have to make it to the border. ”
“ Are you missing home? ”
“ I will ensure everything is in order. I will ensure everything is done properly. ”
“ Should I have worn a different dress? ”
“ Perhaps I might ask your opinion on something? ”
“ I know I am new to the role, but I cannot imagine what I have done wrong so soon. ”
“ I will correct my mistake at once. I…I had no idea. ”
“ I am so very grateful for your guidance. ”
“ His childhood was not always easy. ”
“ Everyone talked as though it was her fault. ”
“ I thought you loved him. ”
“ Your love is an unrequited fantasy. ”
“ I should not have stayed away so long. ”
“ I'm at the end of the world with you ”
“ I trusted you more than anyone in this world, and you took advantage. ”
“ "Cannot" and "will not" are two entirely different things. ”
“ You chose this for yourself. ”
“ I thought you were prepared. ”
“ You took my future from me, the one thing I wanted more than anything. ”
“ I would have died for you! ”
“ Do you know — I even felt pity for you? ”
“ The ones we love have the power to inflict the greatest scars. ”
“ What thing is more fragile than the human heart? ”
“ I have learned that a grave fraud is afoot. ”
“ Should I really deliver the message? ”
“ You cannot believe I shall welcome you back into my bed after your lies and deception? ”
“ I would never dream of concealing the truth of such important matters. ”
“ I must return to my family immediately. ”
“ I will not let you out of my sight. ”
“ Hush, child, all will be well. ”
“ We are in just as perilous a position. ”
“ Perhaps if she can destroy a reputation… she can restore one too. ”
“ This is an emergency. ”
“ We do not require your assistance. ”
“ This may be the answer to all of our problems. ”
“ Pretending that nothing is amiss is the perfect way to lure the ignorant into submission. ”
“ I know you must think me a fool, but my heart pays no heed to mere logic. ”
“ When I think of her, I only want to be near her, to be with her… despite all reason otherwise. ”
I can see it in your face, even when you say nothing, that we are the same now because we have both lost our husbands, but we are not the same.

༘⋆｡ stirring the pot starters
a mix of arguments, tension, manipulation, gossiping, fighting, & general emotional messiness!
you weren't supposed to hear that.
don't look at me like i'm the only one lying.
want to tell them, or should i?
you think i don't know what you did?
i've hit people for less.
oh, i thought you already knew.
that's funny, you didn't say that last night.
say that again. i dare you.
you wanna talk about loyalty?
no offense, but if you're the last to know, that's on you.
go ahead - pretend like it wasn't your idea!
they deserve to know the truth.
you didn't hear this from me, but -
oh, so now you care?
don't flatter yourself. you were just convenient.
you crossed a line.
we had bets on how long it would last.
it's not even a secret anymore.
you don't get to cry about it now.
touch me again and see what happens.
say it again. louder this time.
you really thought nobody would find out?
don't act so innocent.
okay, but am i the villain for laughing?
tell me who else knows. right now.
this whole time, and you didn't say a word?
don't act brave now.
you're really gonna do this here?
it wasn't supposed to get this far!
you can't rewrite history.
oh, i'd never say it to their faces.
it was supposed to stay between us.
we're all thinking it, i just said it.
you're not as untouchable as you act.
do you even feel guilty?
they warned me about you.
go ahead, make it worse.
if you repeat this, i'll deny everything.
the next thing out of your mouth better be an apology.
you're about three seconds away from regretting this.
you keep pushing, and i'll push you back.
they're going to find out.
one more lie, and i walk.
they're lying to you.
you need to back off. now.
you're defending them? after everything?
don't try to hide it.
tell me, was i just a placeholder?
you really think sorry fixes this?
there's nothing left to say.
don't act like you're the one hurting.
i don't owe you any explanation.
whatever helps you sleep at night.
you should've seen this coming.
i hope it was worth it.
i told the truth. just not all of it.
you'll miss me before i miss you.
smile. you're ruining the mood.
i'd watch that tone if i were you.
it's not my fault you believed me.
you have such a talent for pretending you're innocent.
we both know this is over.
i never said i was a good person.
i thought you were different.

You all look dashing. Not as much as Gregory. Brother, wherever did you get such a fine hat?
BRIDGERTON (2020 - ) | s03 ep05 'TICK TOCK'
// it has been exactly one year since I made my last post on this blog and I can safely say that I miss writing here immensely
The smell of the forest and sting of the air brought Victor back to his senses. Eyelids fluttering for a brief moment, Victor tried to focus his eyes on what he was seeing above him. Darkness, trees, Gregory...
Gregory?
"What happened?" He asked, suddenly feeling very confused. This wasn't that place they'd fallen into, was it? It felt much more alive. The trees swaying, the crickets in the distance, and even just the existence of wind told him that they were above ground again.
Above ground!
Sitting up faster than he meant to, Victor's excitement shone on his face, momentarily forgetting the conditions that were tied to their temporary freedom. "We're out! She let us go!" He grabbed at tufts of grass just to check that all of this was real. "Gregory, we're okay! We got away from her!" Oh, if he were the dancing type Victor would have jumped up to do a jig right there!
"Did she just let us go? Y—You're not hurt, are you?" His gaze concerned, he studied his friend as if searching for any sign of injury.
For a moment, Gregory feared that Victor was ill from his time in the underworld, the coldness perhaps reaching his bones at a faster rate than they had anticipated. What had happened? Surely he had not forgotten, the bright excitement in his gaze both softening and concerning the Bridgerton.
"Yes, we did," he agreed, although his voice lacked the enthusiasm that Victor seemed to be displaying. Dark eyes fixed on his friend, serious and firm -- Two things that Gregory liked to think he was not. "Do you not remember? Anything?"
Seemingly not. With a sigh, he ran his hand through dishevelled curls, swallowing as he tried to think of a way to break it to him. After all, this was all Gregory's fault. "She let us go under... under a condition. That we must convince our parents that we're... well, together."
#twirl
Ben flashed a lopsided smirk, though it was somewhat frayed around the edges. "If it weren't for transactions being digital nowadays, I would've expected Anthony to stab me with his check-writing pen," he agreed.
Francesca's expression grew decidedly withering. "I am just trying to help."
Despite the gravity of their situation, he grinned. "There you are," he commended. "You're already doing well with the whole 'significant other glare.'"
Visibly, Francesca started to slow down at his side. "Safely," she echoed, caution in her voice. "Are you certain? I don't want anybody to get hurt because of me."
Glancing around them to be certain that no one could overhear, Ben took her shoulders and leaned in closer -- this position both aided in their ruse, and kept all prying ears at bay -- and with an earnest look to his eyes, he reminded her, "There will always be a risk, but I wouldn't have suggested this if I didn't think it was your best option. No matter what happens, I want you to trust me. It is my job to protect you -- to protect everyone in your immediate vicinity."
Gently, he squeezed her shoulders. "Now should we keep pretending that you're wholly, madly -- not to mention, understandably in love with me, or did you want to head back to the hotel?"
Even though Ben was teasing her, there was a note of visible concern in his eyes while he appraised her. What if she wasn't prepared for this? What if she froze when he needed her alert and at the ready?
"There you are. You're already doing well with the whole 'significant other glare.'"
Despite the urge to continue her glaring, Francesca couldn't help the reluctant smile that graced her features at that, playfully shoving Ben's arm as she carried on with their walking. As loathe as she was to admit it, she was having fun -- Or... as much fun as somebody could be having when they faced imminent danger at every corner.
"Perhaps I was born to be the exasperated girlfriend," she replied, the word feeling strange on her tongue considering she had only met the man a mere few days ago. Still, a teasing glint entered her gaze as she glanced back at him. "Although you make it rather easy."
As soon as Ben's hands rested upon her shoulders, his face leaning closer to her own, Francesca's smile faded, wide eyes blinking back at him uncertainly. Trust. She supposed that she did trust him, in the way that she trusted any of her family's employees to do the job that they were hired for. But this wasn't the job that he had been hired for, not by a long shot.
"I do," she murmured. "Trust you. I am just not certain that I trust myself."
"Now should we keep pretending that you're wholly, madly -- not to mention, understandably in love with me, or did you want to head back to the hotel?"
The exasperation was back tenfold, paired with a grin that Francesca did not even try to hide as her hand slipped easily into his. "One more walk around the block and then we can go back? I'd rather put off facing my brother for a few minutes more."
“We should… If-If you wish to-”
Benjamin peered back at her, an incredulous fog overtaking his low-lashed, longing gaze as he managed a smile. If he wished to? God in Heaven, he’d wished for nothing else but to be hers – to be loved by her for as long as he’d had a modicum of sense – and with trembling limbs, he cupped her face between his hands and kissed her brow.
“Take me to bed. Please.”
Unable to help it, Benjamin laughed. "Tired already?” he teased.
Regardless of the impish glimmer to his eyes, there was still an unmistakable tremor in his limbs as he moved, and lowering to sweep her up into the security of his arms, he carried her back toward his childhood bedroom – a small, cozy space where he and Samuel would hide underneath blankets whispering ghost stories, or sneak cookies from the kitchen before supper, or laugh so hard that their stomachs ached. He had beloved memories then, but he was determined to make more now…to make a once-haunted space warm and inhabitable again.
Nudging the door closed with his foot, Benjamin carried Francesca toward his bed before lying her out across the length of the downy mattress, his left hand gently tucking a stray curl behind her ear while the other hesitated, almost twitching with indecision on how to proceed.
"Tired already?"
Such a jest would usually have earned a raised brow from Francesca, a sly remark following of how she was so very exhausted and in need of a nap. Perhaps she would have moved away from his touch, a glimmer in her eye that would challenge him to chase her, to beg her to come back to him.
But she could not. Instead she merely swallowed, shaking her head as the desperation in her ocean gaze turned to surprised laughter once she was swept off her feet and towards the privacy of his bedroom.
It was a room that Francesca had not been privy to before now, not even peeking in when the door was slightly ajar. It felt wrong, as though she were crossing a boundary despite the innate yearning to set foot inside, to look through his childhood relics and understand her husband just a little bit more. And yet, even as they entered, she could not focus on anything else except the man before her.
"And you can play them for your future neices and nephews." Kate smiled, now that they had told their respective mamas and family members, Kate was being more open with her pregnancy, and was starting to adjust to the idea of an impending child.
"Maybe you'll teach them how to play, I taught Edwina but I'm sure you'll be the better teacher."
Blue eyes brightened further at the notion of a new little niece or nephew, having been over the moon for Anthony and Kate ever since their announcement. Daphne's children were absolutely darling, but Francesca knew that her mother was excited at the prospect of having grandchildren so close to home.
"I would be honoured," she replied. "And how is Edwina? I should like to write to her soon, now that I do not have quite so many lessons to attend."
