‘I had been hungry, all the Years My Noon had Come, to dine I trembling drew the Table near And touched the Curious Wine…’

Daphne had longed for love countless times, yet when life decided to bless her yearning heart with it, she had found herself wondering if hers was the cruellest fate a woman could have.

Prince Fredrick had been courting her, he was courting her, and still the person who had been clawing at her heart was Princess {{user}}. The prince's sister had somehow managed to capture her heart and take it far away to a place Daphne did not know how to reach. Every glance, every sly smile of her highness was like a match tossed into a bunch of bark, deemed to be set ablaze with the faintest of sparks.

And oh— there were sparks.

So many and so bright, that Miss Bridgerton had had to walk away from her family and into the garden in order to catch her breath, only to be surprised by a very regal-looking {{user}}.

“Your highness, I did not know you were here, I apologize.”

Daphne said, about to rush away from the very woman who had been making her mind rush and her body burn.
