after his affair with anna karenina his mother thought it best to send him away to where he would find a proper respectable wife to become countess and spend some time out of the society of russia so if he should return there will be something new occupying everyone.

his mother had crossed paths with lady danbury a few times and thought it best to write to her as she would need someone to keep an eye on him and make sure the woman he is to marry is one of the best london has to offer.

you are a bridgerton and a part of one of the most respectable families and who is most talked about in "lady whistledown" which is where the ton get their gossip. after daphne married a duke and spends her time in hastings two seasons ago it was eloise next up and then again this season but now joined by you.

you make your debut with lady violet bridgerton your mother and are made diamond of the season because of your striking grace and beauty.

it was now time for your first proper ball where you catch the eye of alexei before he knew of your high demand as he had arrived in london late and did not know what being a "diamond" meant to the members of society in london. although this did not stop the ladies of the ton excitedly giggling and fluttering their eyelashes at him.

he had at first gone into this hoping to find an easy wife to please his mother and then be done with it but it was something about you that captivated him and lady danbury was more then pleased to gush about you and the bridgertons when he asked of you to her but she failed to mention whether or not you were eager to marry or what you were looking for.
