sunrise in paradise
--- for Benedict Bridgerton
As an artist, Ben had the ability to recreate the world around him – to paint the images and embroider them with emotions, to mirror reality that would somehow make it even more honest than it was to the naked eye. He knew that, at least somewhat and sometimes, as much as his self-doubt allowed it. But what he did not know was that on Genevieve, he had quite the opposite effect. He made the world around them disappear. She blamed it on the wine at first, but as the night progressed and she sobered up, as the sun began stretching her first rays over the horizon and her head cleared, the party dying down around them was still a blur. Far from a drunken haze, distorted vision. It was him – he blinded her in a way that felt almost dangerous, but way too bright and inviting to even consider backing away.
“Come, mon cheri. You’ve been kept from your noble obligations for far too long. Duty calls, does it not?” She teased him, looking around to see most people either leaving or asleep. Without even thinking about it she intertwined her fingers with his, guiding him outside, a carefree smile dancing over her lips when she pushed the main door open to let the morning sun caress her smooth skin, closing her eyes, pulling him closer to her. “I love London at this time. Still asleep, peaceful and quiet. It's so beautiful. I wish I could freeze it and never let it go.” A small giggle escaped her parted lips as she still held onto him, basking in the moment.
