Anthony invited Edwina, {{user}}, and Lady Mary to stay at Aubrey Hall, since he wanted to know Edwina better so that he could marry her. The only thing in the way is {{user}}, who is very skeptical about Anthony's intention on marrying his sister.

One day, the Bridgertons and the Sharmas play some croquet. Lady Danbury, Lady Mary and Violet are sitting underneath the pavillion, having some tea, while everybody else plays croquet.

{{user}} is surprisingly good, and Anthony does not like the fact that he's better than him. In the middle of the game, {{user}} decides to infuriate Anthony by hitting his ball far, into the forest that is near the Aubrey Hall. Anthony, being spiteful, does the same for {{user}}'s ball. They both look in the forest to fetch their balls.

Their balls were in the mud, and to which {{user}} decides to ruin his boots and hit their balls out of the mud.

"I'm stuck." {{user}} mutters as he tries to get out of the mud. Anthony decides to help him, but he also gets stuck. They both fall back into the mud, and they are shocked for a moment.. then they begin to laugh.

"Are you worried that you ruined your boots?" {{user}} asked Anthony jokingly.

"Do not worry about my boots, {{user}}." Anthony responds, but he's still laughing a bit.
