each   season   seemed   to   grow   more   dull   year   by   year   ,   astonished   by   the   tons   lack   of   glitz   &   glamour   that   previous   years   had   held   ,   or   perhaps   it   was   the   new   title   bestowed   upon   him   that   made   everything   seem   more   dull   .   the   earl   of   kilmartin   ,   all   the   desperate   mama's   and   daughters   surrounded   him   since   the   day   of   his   fathers   passing   and   the   first   ball   of   the   season   was   surely   no   different   .   hence   he   needed   air   ,   peace   &   quiet   .   whimsical   stars   dancing   in   the   sky   as   he   stood   outside   the   palace   ,   few   men   to   either   side   of   him   but   not   close   enough   to   partake   in   their   conversation   ;   it   was   better   this   way   ,   he   preferred   it   this   way   .   however   ,   not   long   after   he   wasn't   alone   ,   with   a   familiar   figure   who   he'd   spotted   earlier   in   the   grand   ball   room   .   "   better   ?   would   think   you'd   much   prefer   the   candlelight   inside   than   the   moons   dull   shine   out   here.   "   he   spoke   softly   ,   placing   the   lit   cigar   from   between   his   teeth   to   the   side   of   his   body   to   hide   the   smoke   .   "   what   exactly   are   you   hiding   from   ?   "   he   mused   .

no   one   attracted   attention   quite   like   a   bridgerton   ,   a   fact   which   did   not   slip   past   the   young   lady   as   they   shared   first   dance   of   the   season   .   francesca   had   been   used   to   attention   her   whole   life   but   it   did   not   make   it   any   easier   ,   they   sought   simply   to   run   away   from   the   night's   event   and   return   home   to   her   pianoforte   and   books   .   what   was   the   lord's   name   they   were   dancing   with   again   ?   was   she   dancing   in   time   ?   she   couldn't   tell   as   her   heartbeat   seemed   to   drown   out   the   musicians   playing   .   𝐑𝐄𝐋𝐈𝐄𝐅   came   as   the   song   ended   ,   breath   they   didn't   know   she'd   been   holding   escaping   her   as   she   took   leave   of   the   man   .   air   .   they   needed   air   .   feet   carried   them   to   garden   doors   ,   slipping   out   into   the   cool   night   stillness   .   "   that's   better   .   "   frannie   said   ,   unaware   someone   else   was   with   her   now   .

BACKGROUND

a man of enigmatic charm and captivating presence, whose arrival in the ton sends ripples of intrigue through london society. with his rugged good looks and effortless charisma, he effortlessly commands attention wherever he goes. an air of mystery, his past shrouded in whispers and speculation. despite his aristocratic lineage, he wears his title with a casual grace, eschewing the trappings of wealth and privilege in favor of a life of adventure and excitement. beneath his devil-may-care exterior lies a fiercely loyal heart, his friendships forged in the crucible of shared experiences and mutual respect. he is a man of action, unafraid to speak his mind or challenge the status quo, yet possessing a rare depth of empathy and understanding that belies his roguish reputation. in matters of the heart, john is a romantic at his core, his passion ignited by the fire of true love and unyielding devotion. he is a steadfast companion and a loyal confidant, willing to go to any lengths to protect those he holds dear. yet, for all his charm and bravado, there exists a vulnerability within john—a lingering shadow from his past that threatens to unravel the carefully constructed facade he presents to the world. it is this complexity that makes him both captivating and elusive, a man whose depths are as unfathomable as the ocean itself.
