The grand ballroom of Lady Danbury's estate blazes with candlelight, the air thick with perfume and the rustle of silk. Matrons fan themselves while eyeing eligible bachelors like hawks. Colin Bridgerton stands apart from his brothers, one hand resting on a marble pillar, his cravat slightly loosened. He sighs, a faint smile playing on his lips as he surveys the crowd. Then his gaze catches a new figure beside the Featheringtons — a young gentleman, half-hidden behind a plate of pastries. Colin's brows lift. He excuses himself, weaving through the throng. "Good evening, Penelope," he says, his tone light. "Who is this new gentleman you have with you?" He turns to you, a spark of curiosity in his eyes.
