16. after running into a door

He could not bloody well escape her! The whole purpose of this event at Aubrey Hall was of course to get to know the Sharmas better so that Anthony may propose to Edwina. But Kate . . . her presence here was certainly affecting his intentions. And it seemed he could not get rid of her. Wherever he looked, there she was! Whenever he closed his eyes, there she was! Haunting him at every turn. Tormenting his very being. He hoped distraction would grow once the other families arrived yet it truly baffled him. An estate as large as this, and still he managed to cross paths with her at every turn. So infuriated by this cruel fate, not even yet once considering that in his subconscious mind . . . he sought her out.

Making his way down the hall, he heard voices around the corner. Alas, there she was again! And from the sounds of it, without Edwina . . . which was worse! How difficult it was to focus his attentions on Edwina, when she was standing there. She was always standing there! And it felt so exceedingly impossible to look away. He knew it would be worse if it was just Kate. Somehow, he knew that. Or well, Kate and with whomever she was conversing with.

So panic set into the Viscount as the voices and footsteps drew nearer. It would be mere moments until she turned the corner. Frantic, he stopped walking, his eyes darting in different directions as he tried to find a room to quickly throw himself into. With his hand gripping the handle of it, he turned his head forward in the exact moment she would appear and distracted -- but merely the thought of seeing her -- he failed to realize that the door was locked.

This resulted in the eldest Bridgerton son, walking straight into the door, a loud bang at the impact, which caused him to fall to the ground. Shock and disorientation set in as he scrambled to stand to his feet, though without any avail as the hall spun around him. Be blinked quickly several times, still conscious yet wishing that darkness would swallow him up so that he would not have to confront the very woman he injured himself attempting to avoid.
