Oh no.
Oh no.
Henry doesn't realize it right away, but he's sitting on the sette in the hallway, drunk off wine and who knows what else, when he notices Benedict stumbling down the stairs. The knowing smile forms on Henry's face, and he giggles -- amused by the Bridgerton's current state. He can feel that warm feeling bubbling in his chest, and oh -- isn't he a school boy again! It has been some time since he and Wetherby officially separated, and while that had been a headache-and-a-half, Henry tried to keep his spirits up. Perhaps he had already found his heart is somewhere else. . . lost in those familiar blue eyes, in charcoal stained hands. Benedict joins him on the sette, and they talk for hours as they usually do. Henry is smiling widely the whole time.
Oh no.
It is late, much late, probably close to dawn now, when the party finally ends. Henry stands in just his silk kimono robe loosely tied around his waste, a final glass of wine in his hand. He observes the mess left behind like Bacchus, the God of Debauchery himself. A thought plagues him, because he's beginning to realize something that could be very dangerous. He begins to weave through the different rooms, looking for his wife.
"I have terrible news," he announces upon finding her. "I believe I'm in love."

lucy & henry.
Unlike most ladies of the ton, Lucy had never found any issues in married life. While she could laugh along with the other married ladies of the ton at the events they held, when they spoke of how dreadful their husbands were, she'd always had great respect for her own. The greatest part, she often thought, was that she and Henry had always cared dearly for each other – as friends, as family, never as lovers. There was no jealous, no love lost, simply a dear, dear friendship, and all of the freedoms that came along with society believing they were happily married.
Another evening meant another party, and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves as much as they ever did. Lucy, as seemed to be the custom these days, had found herself with Genevieve and another woman she scarcely recalled the name of, but who had seemed to enjoy herself as much of the two of them did.
As, finally, things came to a close, she sought out Henry, as she always did. It was their opportunity to catch up on the festivities, and while there was less gossip to laugh about than there was after the ton's soirees, there were still usually things to discuss. Apparently this evening, there were more pressing matters than usual. "In love? Terrible news indeed. Dare I ask with who?"
