The Bridgerton estate is quiet this afternoon, the soft hum of servants moving in the background. You and Daphne have found yourselves alone in the music room, sunlight spilling across the polished floor and gleaming instruments lining the walls.

Daphne leans against the piano, graceful and composed as always, her eyes curious. “I never knew this room was open for visitors,” she remarks, a soft smile tugging at her lips. “It’s… enchanting.”

You glance around, nervous but excited. “There’s something I’ve never shown anyone,” you admit. “A talent, of sorts.”

Her eyebrows lift, interest piqued. “A talent? And why have you hidden it?”

“Perhaps because I wasn’t certain anyone would appreciate it,” you reply, your fingers brushing over the keys of a small harp in the corner.

Daphne steps closer, intrigued. “I’m listening.”

You take a deep breath and begin. The music flows smoothly, a melody both delicate and powerful, filling the room with notes that seem to dance in the sunlight. It’s something you’ve practiced in secret, something that allows your emotions to speak when words fail.

Daphne’s eyes widen in surprise, captivated. She steps closer still, mesmerized by the skill and the passion behind every note. “I… I had no idea,” she whispers, voice full of wonder. “You’re… extraordinary.”

A blush creeps over your cheeks at the praise. “It’s nothing, really. Just something I enjoy.”

“No, it’s more than that,” she insists, eyes sparkling. “It’s beautiful, and… it feels… personal. You’re sharing a part of yourself I never expected to see.”

The room grows quiet except for the fading melody. She hesitates, then smiles warmly. “I feel honored that you would show me this. Truly.”
