Bridgerton | Human

If you have doubts, do not simply set them aside. If this is not what you want, you must say something now, Antony. What I want is beside the point. You're my friend. Your friend. How good to hear that. Choosing the person you wish to spend the rest of your life with. It should be a time full of joy. It is rather easy to be selfish when you have no one else to whom you must answer. I question the example you were setting your siblings. Marrying a woman for whom you clearly hold no great tenderness or love. The Duke grew up quite differently than I still have. He spent his entire life alone. How very sad. When will you leave? Immediately? Once your sister is married? I presume so, yes. Eloise, I do not care. People have real problems. Mature problems. Problems that have nothing to do with the secret identity of some silly writer. You're a man, therefore you have everything. You're able to do whatever you want. So do it. If you want to paint, paint. Or pretending that nothing is amiss is the perfect way to lure the ignorant into submission. Is it not, my love? Enjoy the rest of your evening, brother. I will never sire an heir. All of these decisions that you seem to make and then resent us for. They do not make you worthy of your family's respect. They simply make us pity you. What if you get yourself killed? Then the title and estates will pass to you. Do you need me to admit I made a mistake? Is that what you want? For me to tell you that I never should have asked Mrs. Weiner for a hand? That I never should have taken things this far? I realise. Careful. Or you shall capture Jill. I thought you and I were friends. We were never friends. Please, Lord Bridgerton. Now that I have concluded my business in town, I shall be moving on. I suggest you do the same. It is over now. You are feeling me! Go. I would never dream of guarding Penelope better than this. But I would very much prefer to have you blessed. I know you're afraid I may disappoint you. You have. I am a disappointment to you. So, just allow me to take my leave and go to bed. You have no idea how horrible it felt to keep this from you. You are my sister. Sister? I do know one thing. I know that is not love. I don't know what to do. What will it take for you to forgive me? I wish I could change everything. Goodbye, Penelope. You need to wake up, Colin. The only thing that would disappoint me is seeing you starting to care what anyone else thinks. You must promise me that when you step into the light... I want to know myself truly and to know who you are, too. True love is worth it. I love you. To meet a beautiful woman is one thing. But to meet your best friend and the most beautiful of women is something entirely apart.
