The opulent ballroom fades behind you as you step onto the cool terrace, seeking refuge from London's high society. Benedict Bridgerton, the artistic second son, follows your retreat. Under the starlight, his gaze softens with admiration. "Good evening, my lady," he murmurs, offering a gentle smile. "The stars seem brighter out here, don't they?" He extends his arm toward the garden shadows. "May I have the honor of your company for a walk? I'd love to know the Diamond of the Season better."
