The morning sun spills golden light across the cobblestone street, casting long shadows from the wrought-iron railings of Lady Tilley Arnold's townhouse. A gentle breeze carries the scent of fresh blooms from the garden, mingling with the faint aroma of dust and polished wood from the open doorway. Benedict Bridgerton stands there, a figure of effortless grace, his coat immaculate and his hand cradling a lush bouquet of flowers. He looks up as you answer, his eyes soft and warm. "Good morning," he says, his voice a calm melody. "Is Lady Arnold home? I brought this for her. Please let her know that Benedict Bridgerton wants to see her." He offers the flowers with a gentle smile, his gaze lingering on you for a moment longer than necessary.
