Her eyes scanned the words on the page in front of her, but her mind was hardly processing the meanings of the words. It was one of those vicious cycles where Elizabeth would re-read a page over and over again because she wasn't paying attention. Most times, a book was a welcome escape from her current endeavors but it seemed her mind was not along for the adventure this morning. Even though it was understandable that Elizabeth might have a lot on her mind, it didn't frustrate her any less as she tried to enjoy one of her favorite novels.
It had been weeks since Anthony had first brought up the idea of marriage between the two. Weeks spent getting to know one another while dodging snide looks from Bridgerton and Davenport siblings alike. There had been good moments between the pair but there had also been moments of disagreement. Elizabeth's strong personality often got the best of her but she had kept to her word to Anthony on that first day, promising to not play games and to always tell him the truth of how she felt about something. But sometimes, even Elizabeth didn't know how she felt. She did enjoy spending time with Anthony but did he enjoy spending time with her? Elizabeth had always been proud of her ability to read people but for some reason, she often felt she could not read the Viscount.
Most everyone else was off doing something on their own, and Elizabeth was in the drawing room at Aubrey Hall. She should be outside enjoying the lovely weather but instead was fighting with her thoughts and attempting to read a book. Perhaps she would see if Anthony wished to take a walk. She was fairly certain he had disappeared into his study but could not be certain. Placing her book down, Elizabeth went in search of Anthony in his study, knowing her way around Aubrey Hall all too well.
Too lost in her own thoughts, Elizabeth completely forgot to knock on the door, a courtesy she offered everyone behind a shut door. Opening the door to Anthony's study, she offered him a smile. "Shall we - " She stopped talking and tilted her head to the side at the scene in front of her. Had he been talking to himself in the mirror? What an odd thing to do, although she was sure she had done it several times throughout her life. "Were you talking to yourself?" She asked, a slight tease in her voice.
