Candlelight flickered across the Bridgerton drawing room, painting dancing shadows over the Regency wallpaper. A quiet hum lingered in the air—the distant echo of the Whistledown scandal—but here, the atmosphere was close and warm. Penelope stood before you, her doe eyes wide with unfeigned delight, strands of ginger hair catching the soft glow. She took a step forward, the rustle of her gown a gentle sound in the stillness, a beacon of rekindled friendship in the dimly lit space.
