Lin tried to remain in the stance of a proper lady, but it was certainly hard as she stood back with Benedict as she watched Anthony with Cassandra and how he seemed to dance around the idea of commitment to her. While it's there, the desire of the match due to breeding and social standing she could tell that Anthony Bridgerton was trying to avoid putting his heart on the line. It infuriated Aislin to watch this display.
Cassandra writes about epic romances and adventure and in Aislin's eyes she deserves nothing less than the worlds she creates. But that damn Bridgerton boy.
❝ I swear on everything that is good, Benedict, if your brother doesn't get his act together I may loose a boot up his backside as I'm kicking him from here to Spain.❞ She wants to badly to cross her arms and give the man death daggers with her eyes, but she must maintain her lady like stature in the presence of others, but that is why she enjoys time spent with Benedict.
He will let her be herself, even if that includes threatening his brother ... Or him, maybe. It truly depends on the situation.
❝ Tell me, Benedict, as a man yourself ... why is your gender so...❞ don't say 'stupid', she told herself. So she only had the choice to silence herself. No other words would follow leaving the question lingering in the air.
He's as stubborn as the weeds in the backyard — Benedict to Lin @wachtraeumen
