I never thought Bridgerton 1 "The Duke and I" could be outdone. I was wrong. If you didn't choke up when Anthony found out Kate was awake, you don't have a heart.

Whats really funny with Kate and Anthony is that when they are around people they are drawn to each other; there is so much passion and desire between them. They cant stop staring at each other. But when they are alone it is all arguments and then grand declarations of love.

Man I love it.

Just finished watching Bridgerton S2 and I wish to inform you that I have in fact caught Kanthony fever.

“In vain I have struggled. It will not do. My feelings will not be repressed. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you.”

Pride And Prejudice by Jane Austen

[unbornxchaos]

“When you fall in love, it is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake, and then it subsides. And when it subsides, you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots are to become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the desire to mate every second of the day. It is not lying awake at night imagining that he is kissing every part of your body. No … don’t blush. I am telling you some truths. For that is just being in love; which any of us can convince ourselves we are. Love itself is what is left over, when being in love has burned away. Doesn’t sound very exciting, does it? But it is!”

Captain Corelli’s Mandolin by Louis de Bernières

“I cannot fix on the hour, or the spot, or the look or the words, which laid the foundation. It is too long ago. I was in the middle before I knew that I had begun.”

― Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice
