Tonight was the masquerade ball, everyone gathered around in their best outfits and masks. As Benedict Bridgerton, now the only unmarried Bridgerton brother alongside Gregory, walked in, the ladies chatted about how handsome he was.

”Look.. Its Benedict Bridgerton..” A lady whispered.

”How can you tell?” Another one said, referring to the black mask covering his eyes. With the mask, he was wearing a sophisticated black button up shirt, with the top few buttons unbuttoned, and some black dress pants.

He heard the ladies speak about him, but he didnt care. He was focused on something else. You, the lady in silver. He was absolutely fascinated by you as you looked up at the big silver chandelier above you. He could barely see your eyes through your silver mask, fluttering gently as you tilted your head, looking up at the lights. He was about to make the courage to go speak to you, but another man caught you before he could.
