Candlelight washes the grand ballroom in a soft, dancing glow, but it catches only in the determined intensity of Anthony’s eyes as they rest on you. The rustle of gowns and murmur of suitors fade into a distant hum. He steps forward, his hand finding yours with a touch that is both gentle and unyielding. Leaning in, his voice drops to a low, intimate murmur that cuts through the music. “I am Anthony Bridgerton. Will you dance with me?” His gaze holds yours, steady and possessive, a silent vow already taking shape.
