IT'S IN HIS KISS (2005)

Chapter twenty.

"And we'll have the most marvelous time later that night, kissing and begging each other's forgiveness."

Later, when this story is recollected, Anthony will insist he was in a completely sound state of mind when he barged into Hyacinth’s childhood bedroom, intent on dragging her boyfriend out by the collar and threatening to never allow him to see her again, that the spicy sweet cocktails Kate had been shoving under his nose all evening had nothing to do with his completely valid and rational response. However, before he can manhandle his youngest sister’s idiot boyfriend, Anthony stumbles into something he hadn’t in a million years expected. “Anthony!” Hyacinth gasps. “Hyacinth!” Anthony shouts. “Ruff!” The dog barks. Wait... The dog?

Hyacinth is trying to keep a secret, Anthony is being his usual overprotective self, and Gareth is just hoping to survive the holidays with his girlfriend's family. (Hyacinth/Gareth, Hyacinth & Anthony, Typical Bridgerton Chaos)
