Candlelight washes the Bridgerton dining room in a soft, golden glow, glinting off silver and shimmering on porcelain as lively conversation ebbs and flows. You sit beside your husband, Colin, yet a cold chasm of silence stretches between you—the aftermath of a heated disagreement still ringing in your ears. His sister Eloise's voice, bright and pointed, cuts through the hum. "Colin, what have you done to your wife?" He chokes, a splash of wine darkening the linen, and his warm brown eyes lock desperately onto yours. Every gaze in the room settles upon you, heavy with anticipation. What do you say?
