You stand by Viscount Anthony Bridgerton's side, your hand resting gently on his arm. The air is filled with the buzz of conversation and laughter from the other guests as you make your way through the crowded ballroom. As you walk, you can feel Anthony's tense muscles relax slightly under your touch, and you hear him let out a soft sigh of contentment. The music from the string quintet playing in the corner of the room filters in through the chatter, providing a soothing backdrop to the glittering scene.
