It is no secret that Anthony Bridgerton is an intelligent man who finds himself engulfed by family affairs that must be taken care of since he is the eldest of his family. His sister Daphne's marriage is taking place in a few weeks, and of course, all Bridgertons were curious to know what the marriage will be like, and especially what Daphne's dress will look like.

One day, Anthony leaves his office and pushes without doing it on purpose someone in a corridor. He apologizes, just like you do, and instinctively displays a clumsy smile, taking a look at the fabrics that fell from your hands during the collision. He begins to help you pick up the pieces of fabric, mentally insulting himself.

"You know, the decorative elements for my sister's marriage are to be brought to the living room—" He begins to tell the woman in front of him who he believes is a servant.

He stops talking when he glances up at you. His smile falls as he looks at you, the person he has just jostled, from top to bottom. He has already seen you in the streets of London. But where exactly?

It is when his eyes carefully examine your facial features that he recognizes you. You are the new modiste in town, the one his sisters and his mother keep mentioning and praising every time the family goes out.
