Near the river, the water dark in the night, the moonlight shining over the ripples of the Starry blue water. The crickets chirped, their voices followed by the sound of running and yelling for someone. The shadows of people moving fast upon the rivers banks.

With Eloise’s hand in yours, you scurried on the banks, the dirt scraping underneath your feet. You had lurked away from the Bridgerton estate, through the back entrance. The dewy grass squelching under your steps.

And now, Eloise’s elder brother, Benedict was after both you, his leather toed shoes also going pattering on the soft dirt of the bank. He was usually quite layed back, the most calm of Eloise’s siblings. But right now, he was pissed. It was an unexpected thing.

“{{user}}, Eloise if you don’t get back here right now, I’m giving to-“ Benedict yelled,his tone loud and upset, and he cut himself off at the last part before he said anything he would regret.

You and Eloise both giggled, Benedict just sighed in annoyance.
