During his summer break, Miles Sharma-Bridgerton, age seven, found a beehive.

It was the saddest of days that this event occurred. Miles was driving his car about the garden, an extremely cool electric vehicle in a sleek black colour that befitted Miles’s despair. His eyes red-rimmed, his cheeks tear-stained. Snot bubbles were under his nostrils and he didn’t even bother to wipe them off, he was so upset. Such was the devastation of the utter tragedy in Miles’s young life.

His parents, his own Amma and Dad, had cruelly refused to let him come along with Edmund to his camp, and no amount of Miles’s pleading, puppy dog eyes, dimples or tantrums could make them budge.

And then, just as Miles was in the midst of his existential unravelling, finding himself the most lonesome and pitiful boy in all of England, he saw it. Up there, partially shaded by the ivy, holding onto the brickwork of the garden wall with such might, was the biggest (the first) beehive Miles had ever seen in his life. It was a glorious sight, a real- life beehive. It looked exactly like the ones he had seen in Winnie the Pooh.

Seeing no bees buzzing about it, the smart boy quickly deduced that it must be because the bees were sleeping. They must have been so tired, he thought, after such a long day pollinating all the flowers in Miles’s big garden. Quietly, he took note of the spot and drove his car back to the house.

~~~***~~~

Miles does not disclose his discovery to his parents. He is still angry at them for not allowing him to camp. And he does not tell Edmund, the traitor. For days now he has been bragging about all the cool things one will get to do at camp, mercilessly rubbing it in Miles’s face.

Well, now Miles has something cool of his own that they have no part of. That will show them.

He does tell his sister, Small Charlie, or Lottie, who is two years old, yet able to talk and the best. Miles knows he has her support.

And on the day his parents take Edmund to camp and leave Miles in the care of Uncle Gregory, he tells his cousin/co-conspirator/nemesis, Charles ‘Seong Ho’/Big Charlie Baek-Bridgerton, six years old, who has been invited over to keep Miles’s company. 

After three years, despite their bond, the rivalry between Miles and Big Charlie is still going strong. What the original cause of their contention was, Miles has frankly forgotten. However, Miles firmly believes that a man, even a small and extremely cute man like himself, must have principles, and considering Charlie his nemesis just happens to be one of these principles.

Besides, there are still plenty of other efficient fuels for disagreement between children. For example, the dislike Charlie has for Miles’s advanced age and currently superior height, speed and strength. Meanwhile, Miles is no less perturbed by the fact that his own baby sister is obsessed with Charlie. Every time he comes over, Lottie clings to him, as the younger boy draws better and more often than Miles does, and knows many, many stories. The little girl, arrested in attention, momentarily forgets who Miles even is.

Naturally, Miles, being older and wiser, does not get jealous over this at all (he absolutely does). And if he were to throw a fit and pick a fight with Charlie again after Lottie ignored him, it would be for a completely different and perfectly mature reason.

At least Miles can console himself by actually having a sister. Charlie’s own disappointing sister-deficiency has been a source of his turmoil. With ‘The Baby’ Alex, and it looks to be yet another boy on the way, Uncle Benedict’s kids will be the only ones without a sister.

‘The baby hasn’t come yet.’ Miles tried to console Charlie when he first heard the news the month before. ‘Right now it’s just rumours, you know.’

‘No.’ Charlie pouted and shook his head sadly. ‘Will is definitely a boy. The doctor used a machine to look inside my Eomma’s belly and said she saw a willy.’

Miles pondered this for a minute. Then he remembered something.

‘Maybe it’s a case of mistaken identity! There’s a kid at my school, and everyone thought it was a boy. But then it turns out she has been a girl all along, and the doctor made a mistake because she has a willy. Maybe Will would turn out to be one of those girls who have willies!’ He patted Charlie’s shoulder in a sagely, older-brotherly manner. ‘Don’t give up. You might still have a sister.’

Back to today, being so wise and mature, seven-year-old Miles has learned to put aside their differences and seek out Charlie’s counsel for momentous issues, such as The Case of The Great Kitchen Cake, or on this day, The Matter of The Beehive. Charlie’s Eomma and Miles’s future wife, Auntie Sophie, is a scientist. And Charlie is the son of a scientist, which to Miles, is basically the same thing.

‘What do you think?’ Miles asks. They are both watching the hive in his cool car from a safe distance away, not wanting to alert the bees. Their conversation is carried in hushed tones.

‘That is the biggest beehive I have ever seen.’ Charlie, who has only seen one beehive when he was two and therefore cannot recall the experience, agrees enthusiastically. ‘It looks exactly like the ones from Winnie the Pooh.’

‘That’s what I thought too!’ Miles is overjoyed. ‘There must be at least a ton, no, two tons of honey in there.’

‘Yeah.’ Charlie says. ‘It looks like so much beeswax too.’

‘Beeswax?’

‘I saw a documentary where they make beeswax candles. Loads and loads of candles. It’s very cool.’ The younger boy explains. ‘You can make like, a thousand out of a hive that size.’

Miles considers this information. He has been to Sainsbury’s with his parents. One scented candle, the cheapest kind, costs 5 pounds. The more expensive ones can cost up to 20 pounds each. Miles has no reason not to believe that the beeswax made in his garden is of the highest, most expensive quality. One candle is 20 pounds, a thousand candles, plus honey, which is 10 pounds a jar,... 

That is… a lot.

An idea, a brilliant, magnificent, genius idea, bursts forth in Miles’s head, fully formed. He elbows Charlie, his eyes shining on the oblivious hive, smiling machiavellistically. 

‘So, how do you get it down?’

"Look what you made me do"

- Shubman Gill

------

" I don't want you back "

- Ishan Kishan

-----

" Hope to see you—"

"Never"

-------

A story of Shubman Gill and Ishan kishan where you meet the right person at the wrong time.

------

Ishan Kishan, a 21 year old University  student. He is the captain of his cricket team. The whole college is fan of him, especially girls who are head over heels for him and his hotness.

Sadly for all those girls, he is in a relationship with the president of musical group, Aditi Hundai. They both have been in a relationship of 2 years. Aditi is his only family as he is an orphan. But her family also treats Ishan really well and never let him feel like an orphan.

Ishan also works as a part timer in Mc Donald's to earn some money and has taken admission in one of the best colleges of India through sports quota which gave him a bit of recession in his fees.

Meanwhile Shubman gill, 27 year old. The most feared mafia in underworld. He has a sister Shahneel gill. He killed his own parents one day by setting his house on fire when he was merely 10 years old. His sister took the blame and was sent to juvenile meanwhile Shubman sent to an orphanage as none of his relative decided to took him in.

He used to love cricket when he was a child but being short on cash, him and his sister couldn't afford any cricket kit.

He have one bestfriend, Abhishek Sharma who knows all of his deepest and darkest secrets, both of them can do anything for each other.

----

"Baby wake up"

"Just two more minutes" I whined.

"You have been saying that since the last ten minutes" My husband chuckled.

"I am not feeling well please let me sleep." I murmured pulling the sheets above my head.

"What happened? Are you having a fever?" My husband asked in concern. He pulled the sheets off my face and touched my forehead.

"Your forehead is burning. Why didn't you told me sooner? Let me get you medicine and something to eat." He said getting off from bed but I pulled him closer.

"Please don't leave. I want to cuddle with you."

"Sweetheart I am not leaving you. I am just going to get you medicine so your fever can go away." My husband said and showed his dimple smile. His smile always makes my heart flutter.

He kisses my cheek and gets up fro  the bed and this time I didn’t resisted.

"I am not going anywhere and will be here in no time." He repeated before walking out of the room.

I looked at his retreating figure and smile lightly.

He loves me so much. I love him too.

Sometimes it reminds me of the time when I used to hate him and never wanted to see his face but look at me now being head over heels for him and never wanting to let go of him.

Oh btw I forgot to tell you all my name. I am Ishan Kishan and he is my husband Shubman Gill.

You know 5 years before if someone had told me I would willingly marry a man and that too the world's most feared mafia, I would have laughed at them. But look at me now. My whole world revolves around this man and we are planning to adopt a child also.

Do you all want to know how I ended up with him?

Then let's start from the starting. It all started when...

Mira and a town of relatives

Mira and her father in the episode "The Great Diwali Mystery"

Mira, Royal Detective is one of my favorite series. I have to write about it here on this blog because unlike some other shows, the town where this Indian-inspired series is set, Jalpur, the protagonist, Mira, appears to be related to...everyone! This is like any small town. Anyway, I'd like to break it down for you all, because family ties and the value of family is central to this series, unlike any other that I have ever seen.

Reprinted from my Genealogy in Popular Culture WordPress blog. Originally published on June 2, 2021.

We do not currently know who Shanti's husband is, or if he is still alive. I created this using one of my favorite sites for creating family trees, Family Echo

Let's start with Mira, herself. She was appointed by Queen Shanti to be the royal detective in the city, and she considers her to be like a daughter. Shanti herself has two sons: Prince Neel, a brilliant and talented inventor, often flying around the city in his flycycle or some other invention, and Prince Veer, the aspiring King of Jalpur. Neel has a crush on Mira. We also know that he has a grand-grandmother who was an inventor and built a submarine, as shown in a recent episode, and has great aunt, Rupa. As for Mira, she has two friends, mongooses who help her out on cases: Mikku and Chikku. They are brothers and have two cousins, who are also mongooses: Preeti and Neeti, who are skilled in rope gymnastics. [1]

Mira, however, is NOT directly related to Queen Shanti. Her father is Sahil, who calls her "beti" when talking to her. Two of her friends, Priya and Meena, are sisters, and her cousins, as is Chotu, a younger brother of Priya and Meena (also known as Mina). Their mother is Pushpa, who is also Mira's aunt. Presumably, Kamala is also her cousin, who has a younger sister named Dimple. The same can, possibly, be said for her friends Pinky, Dhruv Sharma, and Sandeep. Apart from them are two brothers, Ranjeet and Manjeet, a music teacher (Sanjeev Joshi), who are her friends. [2] In a few episodes, the royal Nayapuram family appears, comprised of a king, queen, and their daughter, Princess Shivani.

In order to explain this, I came up with this chart created via one originally shared by Kathleen Brandt, a genealogist who wrote that it is "one of the biggest errors made when referencing cousin relationships."

So, we currently do not know the parents of Kamala and Dimple, Dhruv (whose surname is Sharma), Sandeep, or Pinky. But, it is possible that at least one of their parents is a brother or sister of Sahil and Pushpa. There are also many, many unnamed uncles that Mira meets in the town, meaning that they may be some of these people. Some of these parents may have been featured in some episodes but I'm not aware of them. That is definitely a possibility. Saying all of this, it is possible that Mira is calling older men she meets in Jalpur "Uncle" since, as some have noted, "kids routinely call complete strangers “Uncle” and “Aunty”" even if they aren't related. As Times of India noted in 2015, it is "very common" for those in India to call those older than themselves "Aunty" or "Uncle," with this done out of "respect for the elderly or for fellow humans." That could be the case here, even though the terms can also be used for those that someone is related to, by family ties.

Even so, I think that Pushpa is Mira's aunt, since her name in the show is literally "Auntie Pushpa." [3] In the end, I'll keep an eye on this series and possible write another post on this show later.

Notes

[1] In a recent episode, "The Case of the Vanishing Picnic," Mikku says "its not every day there are cousins that visit from the big city," referring to Neeti and Preeti, showing Mira secret family recipes they have prepared.

[2] This isn't accounting for the Palace Tailor, the two bandits (Manish and Poonam), Ram Sing Ji, and Deputy Oosha who are likely not related to Mira.

[3] In the episode "The Case of the Lost Treehouse," Mira's pa says "there's the tapestry your Auntie Pushpa made for the wall," making it clear this is the case.

Mubarakan (2017) directed by Anees Bazmee

English title: Congratulations age rating: 13+ genre: comedy, family, romance duration: 2h 36m country: India language: Hindi screenplay: Rupinder Chahal, Balwinder Singh Janjua

major cast: Anil Kapoor, Arjun Kapoor, Athiya Shetty, Ileana D'Cruz, Ratna Pathak Shah, Neha Sharma

plot summary: twin brothers Karan and Charan (both played by Arjun Kapoor) lose their parents when they were babies and end up being raised by different relatives. Karan grows up in London with his aunt, turning into a smooth-talking, confident flirt, while Charan is raised in Punjab by their uncle, becoming the mild-mannered, traditional one of the two. when it’s finally time for these two to settle down, a whirlwind of mix-ups and misunderstandings kick off, creating a chaotic yet heartwarming rom-com. their eccentric Uncle Kartar (Anil Kapoor) steps in as the unlikely hero, masterminding a hilariously twisted plan to juggle his nephews’ love lives and keep peace between both families.

read my review below (may contain spoiler):

I don't know why this movie is hated by many and considered flop because this movie had me laughing from the first scene right to the last! Mubarakan has that perfect blend of chaotic family drama, laugh-out-loud dialogue, and just the right dose of emotion. imagine the quirkiest family you know, add a ton of misunderstandings, and sprinkle in some dramatic match-making moves, and that’s exactly what this film delivers. the plot is ridiculously over-the-top, full of mishaps, misunderstandings, and impossible situations, and honestly, that’s what makes it so much fun. who knew a family could have this level of complex miscommunication? every twist just builds on the previous one, leading to an absolute comedy roller-coaster that had my stomach aching from laughter! Arjun Kapoor deserves applause for his portrayal of both Karan and Charan, and somehow he makes it feel like I’m watching two completely different people. he’s like the Bollywood version of Lindsay Lohan in The Parent Trap. the visual effects are seamless too; I barely noticed any flaws in the twin scenes.

Anil Kapoor, as their eccentric uncle Kartar, is just a powerhouse. he brings this youthful energy that’s honestly mind-blowing—does this man age backward, how does he look younger than he was in the 1990s? Kartar's witty, carefree personality lights up the screen and adds an extra punch to the comedic chaos. then there’s Athiya Shetty, who plays Binkle, Charan’s love interest. I couldn’t take my eyes off her! she’s stunning, with this unique, captivating beauty that really sets her apart. that jawline, those eyes—they’re mesmerising, she kinda reminds of Miranda Kerr, but without the dimples! she doesn’t get nearly enough screen time, but every scene she’s in, she owns. her chemistry with Charan is sweet and endearing; I found myself rooting for her the entire time. Seriously, if I were a guy, I’d happily be Charan’s rival. Ileana D’Cruz as Sweety is also fantastic and brings her own lively charm, perfectly balancing the fiery and confident Karan. yes, the film goes a bit overboard at times—some situations are so far-fetched they could only happen in a Bollywood rom-com. but that’s the charm of it! the absurdity is part of what makes Mubarakan such a blast to watch. there’s an energy here that I don’t find in just any comedy, and despite all the craziness, the film sneaks in a warm family message by the end that ties everything together. this is the movie you put on when you’re in the mood to laugh, relax, and forget about everything else for a couple of hours. Bollywood fans, or anyone up for a feel-good family comedy, will find it a delightful watch.

Curtain Story: The super serious, dark, dramatic and heroic rivalry of Miles Bridgerton and Charles Bridgerton     

by orangepeelshortbreadcookies

Chapter 1 - 4.2 / 3.7

At four years and two months old, Miles Sharma-Bridgerton rules the world. Everybody will always give him anything he wants.

Until he comes face to face with his new cousin, Charles 'Seong-Ho' Bridgerton.

OR

Miles is perfectly fine with being the baby of the family and the centre of the universe then Charlie comes swinging in like a rocket and ruins all of that by being younger than him.

OR

I need to write some wholesome baby fluff for a change

Author’s note: The even more ridiculous alternative title, courtesy of my partner and the lovely @dollypopup - Curtain Story: the (super serious dark dramatic) rivalry of one Miles Bridgerton and Charles Bridgerton by fall out boy ft. Panic!At The Disco covered by Paramore with a rap bridge from Batman

Special thanks to @hptriviachamp for helping me write Kate and Miles.

At four years and two months old, Miles Sharma-Bridgerton rules the world.

Well, Miles rules at least one world. From Kent to London, from Mumbai to Chennai, everybody loves him. His grandmothers. All of his aunts and uncles. His Amma and Dad most of all. The adults always swoon and gush over how cute he is when Miles looks up at them from under his soft curls and his long eyelashes, as he flashes them a view of the dimples on his round cheeks. Everybody will always give Miles anything he wants.

Miles isn’t worried about his brother, Edmund, or his cousins, Auggie, Belinda and Caroline. He is the youngest of the bunch, so they have to share their toys with him. Miles will tell if they don’t. Plus, Edmund never lets anybody bully him. Secretly, Miles thinks of his brother as his sidekick. The fact that he will soon gain a younger sibling, as his Amma is currently pregnant, is still too abstract of a concept for the boy to comprehend. As far as he is concerned, this is Miles’s world forever.

Miles has yet to have any reason to think otherwise on a day such as today. Turns out his Dad has another brother, Uncle Benedict, not just Uncle Colin and Uncle Gregory. He is returning home with his wife, Auntie Sophie, from their long business trip in Europe. Amma is taking him and Edmund out to meet them for lunch, along with Auntie Daphne, her kids, and Auntie Eloise.

Before they depart for the restaurant, Miles conducts his investigation.

“What does Uncle Benedict do?” Dad says one can judge a character by what they do for a living, and Grandma Violet says it is very rude to directly ask that kind of question. So Miles snuggles against Amma and whispers the question in her ear. She giggles as his breath tickles her.

Also, Miles just wants to be close to Amma and smell her. His aunts and Grandmas smell nice too, but his Amma has the best smell.

“He is an artist, angel.” She answers. “He paints things. He takes photographs of them too.”

He considers her  answer thoughtfully.

“He paints things? Like trees? Like animals? Like horses? What about kittens? What about our dog Newton? And houses?” To each “Yes” from his Amma regarding his inquiries, he is more sure of his resolve. This is good information. Uncle Benedict can stay. It can be useful for Miles and Edmund, having an uncle that powerful.

The fact that Benedict is also his cousins’ uncle, Miles does not agree with.

“What does Auntie Sophie do?” He whispers into Amma’s ear again.

“Auntie Sophie is an astronomer.” says Amma.

“What is astromomomer?” He asks.

She smiles, repeating the words more slowly. “An as-tro-no-mer, darling. She studies astronomy. The sun, the stars, the moon, space. Everything outside of Earth.”

Miles’s eyes brighten at this explanation. He recognizes the term now.

“Space? So she is astronaut? Like spaceship?”

“No, she is an astronomer, dear. Not an astronaut. They work together.” Kate’s attempt to clarify the distinction unfortunately goes completely over Miles’s head. Now, the boy can only think of which possible ways he can charm this Auntie Sophie, so she loves him enough to give him a seat on her spaceship.

His plan starts with this lunch. As Edmund leaves the table to play with Auggie, Belinda and Caroline, Miles stays behind. Like a smart boy that he is, Miles decides that his chance of getting on a spaceship will be higher if he helps his Amma and aunts chat up this pretty, fairy-like lady who they say is Auntie Sophie. It is his world after all, he should be responsible for it. So he stays in his chair, little feet dangling off the ground, busying himself with his snacks. Occasionally, when he feels generous, he turns to his Amma and pushes a piece of tart against her mouth until she eats it. It is very wise of him, indeed, that he remembers that Amma needs to feed the baby as well.

His plan is working perfectly. His Amma is doing her part, talking about how excited he is to meet a real-life astronomer, while Miles flutters his lashes and grins at Sophie with both of his dimples. Both of them! This is a huge, never-before-seen concession on Miles’s part. Normally he will never be this friendly to strangers. But he really wants that spaceship.

Auntie Sophie is moved, he can tell. She looks at him like every woman in his life looks at him, full of melting love and adoration. She coos and nudges his cheeks. She helps dab napkin at the spot when Miles has jam on his chin. He allows and accepts the gesture with sovereign regality, preening under all the attention of the women at the table.

As Miles is just about to gather enough courage and ask Auntie Sophie about her spaceship, someone else arrives.

“I hope we are not too late. Somebody found a flower shop.” Miles hears an adult male say.

Everyone’s attention turns toward the voice. Coming into view is a man who looks like his Dad but not really. All of his aunts cry out “Benedict!” as he approaches them. Amma leans over him, introducing helpfully and encouragingly.

“Look, honey. It’s your Uncle Benedict.”

Uncle Benedict is carrying two things in his arms. One of them is a giant bouquet, with so many flowers Miles cannot count all of them. The other is a child. A boy.

Uncle Benedict introduces him.

“This is Charlie. Say hello, Charlie!” The kid is smaller than Miles. Rounder than Miles. Pinker than Miles. He gives them an excited wave and a grin so wide, his eyes close up. Then he makes a gesture of blowing everyone at the table a kiss, and Miles hears his Amma, his old Aunties and his new Auntie collectively sigh.

“Eomma!” Charlie calls out, flailing his arms as if he wants to fly away from his Dad’s embrace to his mother. When he smiles, one corner of his mouth is higher than the other, just like his Dad. Benedict releases him on the ground so he can walk to her by himself.

Halfway through, Charlie turns around, suddenly realises he has forgotten something. Benedict grins and gives him the flowers.

The boy begins his journey anew. The bouquet is so big and heavy, he cannot hold them up in his hands. Instead, he has to drag them on the ground behind him, and he does this with great determination, shaking away every offer of assistance from his dad, only accepting it when Benedict helps him bring the flowers up to Sophie’s face as they finally reach her.

“Eomma.” Charlie says in a melodic, innocent voice. “Eommeoni. Je t'apporte des fleurs !"

Miles hears a gasp from somebody.

“My goodness!” says Auntie Daphne. “He speaks French?”

“And Korean.” Auntie Sophie shyly reminds everyone, as if that fact is important to her. “But yes,” she confirms, holding both the flowers and her son on her lap. Pride fills her eyes. “He watched a lot of French programs when we were at the CNES.”

“Hey, I helped too.” Uncle Benedict chimes in. “Someone cannot fall asleep without his P’tit Loup.”

“P’tit Loup!” Charlie exclaims happily.

“Thank you for the flowers, baby.” Sophie kisses Charlie’s head. “They are lovely.”

“He picked them out himself. I helped.” Benedict says, as his head nuzzles against Sophie, signifying that he himself wants a kiss too. She rolls her eyes, but gives it to him.

“Baby. Seong-Ho-ah,” she tells Charlie. “These are your Aunties. Kate, Daphne, Eloise. This is your cousin Miles. Would you say hello?”

“‘Allo!” Charlie says, before blushing so furiously he has to dive his face back into his Mum’s chest. Someone, perhaps Auntie Daphne, maybe Miles’s Amma (His Amma!) giggles.

“Honey, look at me.” Sophie tries to maintain eye-contact with Charlie. “These flowers are very beautiful, but you only gave them to me. Can you see that your Aunts and your cousin don’t have any flowers?” Charlie takes a look around, then nods. His head is so big, it is like he nods with his entire body. Sophie continues. “I want to share these flowers with them. Would you agree?” Charlie thinks, then nods again. Sophie’s smile widens. “Would you help me do it?” Another nod starts off hesitantly, then turns excited.

Charlie slips off of Auntie Sophie’s lap, his parents help him pull the blooms he wants out of the big bouquet. Only two or three stems are much easier for the child to handle, and he toddles on his chubby legs over to Auntie Daphne and Auntie Eloise to give them their gift. He also says something to them that makes them blush. Even Auntie Eloise looks impressed, and she is never impressed with anything.

What is so special about him? He can barely walk. Miles thinks, scoffing petulantly.

At last, Charlie approaches Kate, raising to her, with both arms, two pink tulips. One of the stems bends a little under his clumsy grip.

“Tata! Tu es manifique!”

Kate sniffles, her hands tremble as she receives the flowers and Miles is aghast,  aghast , at her betrayal. How can his Amma do this to him? It is not like she has never received flowers before. Dad gives her flowers  everyday . And those tulips are not even nice. They’re all mushy.

Then Amma does something worse.

Leaning down to Charlie, she asks him.

“May I hold you, baby?”

Miles is, quite justly so he thinks, shocked to his core at this blatant insult.

Charlie considers the question. He looks to his Mum, his Dad, and back up at Miles’s Amma. Then he reaches his arms out for her, granting permission. But that is not before he gives Miles a smile, the likes of which Miles can only describe as pure evil. The older boy narrows his eyes at that.

Kate picks Charlie up into her arms.

At four years and two months old, Miles Sharma-Bridgerton comes face to face with his cousin, Charles Seong-Ho Bridgerton. His nemesis.

Miles gets off his chair at the utter indignity of the scene. Overwrought with emotions, he throws himself on the ground and wails.

˗ˏˋ   edwina sharma  ,  i keep seeing you, but i don't know your name.    ˎˊ˗​​​

the previous night, callum andrews had spent his time at the gentlemen's club, drinking well into the morning, playing cards and laughing too loudly until all the other men decided it was time to go home. now, he had spent the day a bit booze sick, sipping from a flask to try and chase away the ache inside of his head, the sun shining much too brightly above him for most of the morning. it hadn't been his idea to attend the town's street fair. rather, the young man was forced into it. if he had the choice, he would spend his time at the club, or even at a brothel. instead, he now walked between booths selling sweets, soaps, and miscellaneous luxuries that none of them really needed.

from behind a tent, callum spots edwina sharma - the diamond of the season, according to the queen - and smirk grows slightly as he steps up next to her, pretending to look over some trinkets before she finally spoke to him. 'you don't know my name? you wound me, miss sharma,' american accent certainly does not match her own, but his smile grows enough to dimple his cheeks as he reaches down to take her hand. 'callum andrews. pleasure to meet you,' kiss is given to her gloved knuckles before he lets them fall. 'are you unescorted? where's that scary sister of yours?' it's partly a jest, the man glancing around as if searching for kate. 'do you think she's been frightening the suitors away from you?' @sh4rmas.
