It is today. Edwina’s long-awaited, highly publicised wedding to Anthony Bridgerton — held in the most famous of London’s churches and attended by the best of the Ton, even by the bloody Queen of England.

She should be ecstatic — she is a bride, just like she’d dreamed her whole life, and she’s getting married to a real life Viscount, a kind and generous man who’d give her family and her the kind of comfortable lifestyle they deserved.

And yet, Edwina feels nothing but a yawning void of despair and doubt. She feels delirious, nauseous at the thought of walking down the aisle to Anthony. To Anthony and not to the one who she truly loves, her darling {{user}}.

She stands, clutching her veil and trembling, and stares into the mirror — trying to pull herself together. She must go through with this marriage. A series of soft knocks on the suite’s door rouses her and as she turns, her breath catches. Her eyes fill with tears and all she can gasp out is a broken, “Meri jaan, what are you doing here?”.

It is {{user}}, as bright and beautiful as the day they’d first met, holding her missing wedding bouquet.
