you’ll find me on my tallest tiptoes、spinning in my highest heels love、shining just for you .

( it took him a moment to even respond, finally allowing his head to fall into a soft nod. ) I know it isn’t much, but I wanted to experience everything with you, big and small.

i will fall in love with you, over and over again.

good. ( presses a chaste kiss to the corner of her lips, leading her outside where sun is just now rising. there is a blanket already laid out within the gardens for them. )

do you trust me? ( he’s extending a hand, palm up and waiting. )

we do, of course we do. I’d like to start showing you all of that now though, if you don’t mind.

I haven’t, not even close. I don’t think you realize yet just how much good you deserve. You’ve missed out on the best of everything your whole life. I cannot even imagine.

but I don’t even think you’re fully aware of just how much more you deserve. I haven’t nearly done enough.

do I now? how so?

I am doing a terrible job at this then.

god, you are 𝘴𝘰 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘧𝘦𝘤𝘵. have I told you that lately?

sounds perfect to me, mrs. bridgerton.

then maybe you should get used to me saying it.

𝐦𝐫𝐬. 𝐝𝐨𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐚. 𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐠𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐨𝐧.

had to hear it from my own voice, too.

oh, it sounds better than I imagined it would—mrs. dorothea bridgerton.

I think it suits you.

oh, but I am. it has a nice ring to it, doesn’t it?

well, I do have to admit when it comes to you and forever, that I am a rather impatient man, future mrs. bridgerton.

oh, I don’t know, that’s a tough one. maybe get your bottom in that wedding dress of yours and marry me already, so I can finally call you my 𝘸𝘪𝘧𝘦.

that’s right, you did.
