Exert:
In the corner of his eye, their butler almost silently walked in with a small silver tray in his hand, heading straight for his mother on her settee. Something was murmured between them but Benedict didn’t pay attention. His ears were deafened anyway when a squeal erupted from Edmund, and chubby little hands stretched out and clapped at the window. A smile pulled on Benedict’s lips as Eloise grumbled that she never wanted a child.
“Benedict?” Violet said, her voice unusually quiet and not simply because she was at the other end of the room.
He craned his head back to see passed Edmund. “What is it?”
His mother frowned down at her lap, a white sheen of paper unfolded there. Benedict didn’t like the sombre look on her face— he hadn’t seen it often. It was enough to curdle a sour feeling in his stomach.
“You may wish to sit,” she said calmly, but the tension in her face was anything but, “and read this." Violet offered out an opened letter towards him in the air, and when she looked up, Benedict knew that he needed to take it.

My mom to her friends, my aunts, and literally everyone she knows: Yeah, my kid is so smart. She is on her phone a lot of the time, but it's not like you guys think, She is not like how kids nowadays are, She reads a lot of books on her phone!!
Me, a fanfic reader who can survive off nothing but just words and day dreams herself to sleep:

Benedict kissing Colin and Colin just being there accepting it with no reaction tells me that this happens more often than shown, and I can just imagine Anthony and Benedict just kissing their little brother incessantly just to annoy him and Colin just sitting there not being able to do anything but accept it makes my heart melt
