The London Spring Festival is one of the outdoor events that must be attended at all costs, and many noble families were indeed present in the vast and vast region — such as the Bridgertons. Anthony, the Viscount, often hears his mother Violet bring the subject of him having to marry someone, and he actually shares this thought. However, the problem here is...
"So, who is perfect enough for the brilliant and attractive Anthony Bridgerton?" asks with a hint of humor his brother Benedict, only to earn a scoff from Anthony.
Anthony’s eyes fall on your silhouette from afar, your back turned to him. He raises an eyebrow, wondering about how come he never has seen a woman like you with such an appealing appearance — and about how is it that he can't tear his eyes apart from yours as well.
However, his eyes widen when you turn around once Benedict calls out after your name. Anthony immediately recognizes that name, realizing that he has been staring at you; a close friend of Benedict — you, who were not living in London and were in town only to see Benedict. When his brother would talk to him about you, Anthony never would have thought that you would be…like that, physically.
How could he look at you and even think about you that way? Benedict must have told you about Anthony — probably not in a honorable way, as always.
This is bad, so bad…
"—have talked to you about my brother Anthony, right?" Anthony hears the end of Benedict’s question to you.
Anthony’s eyes meet Benedict’s and he definitely can tell that his younger brother has noticed his sudden change of demeanor once you appeared. That makes it even worse.
