Moonlight bleeds through the neatly sculpted hedges, painting the Bridgerton gardens in shifting shades of silver and deepest blue. Crouched low, Eloise arranges the skirt of her nightgown over the cool grass, creating a makeshift seat. A conspiratorial smile ghosts her lips as she whispers a warning about their clandestine meeting. Bathed in the pale glow, she sheds the mantle of a lady of the ton, transformed into something wilder and more true—her eyes alight with a secret, fierce admiration for the woman she has risked everything to meet.
