Some parties were so much fun and then there was this one. Philipa was standing bored with her family. She was watching the dancing and immediately noticed Benedict Bridgerton on the dance floor. He was always easy on the eyes making her stare.

She was staring at him tonight and when she caught his eyes she motioned for him to join her in the gardens.

The moon was bright and it illuminated the area nicely but just as she saw Benedict joining her the rain started to come down and all she could think about was how cold she was.

Benedict was not one to frequent the dance floor, all too aware of the watchful eyes that befell any man and woman who shared a dance -- especially if it was for the first time. But today he had asked Lady Danbury to dance -- which, was certainly not a first time at all. Her company was rather enjoyable, the pair making each other laugh -- even if it was at his expense as she teased him so. As he was dancing with her, he happened to look at the crowd, his eyes locking with the middle Featherington sister as she seemed to be motioning to something. ◈   ◈   ◈  ◈  ◈ Curiosity peaked in the second son and the dance was over, he politely excused himself to follow her out through the doors and into the gardens. Truthfully, he wished to make sure she was alright and that there was nothing troubling her. That, and of course the gentleman in him did not wish for an unescorted woman to be wandering about. There could be men with . . . less gentlemanly thoughts. As he approached her, he felt first the light drizzle of rain before it became a heavier downpour. "Come!" He called, extending his hand for her to take to help her through the pouring rain. "Let us get you out of the rain," he added. He would have offered his jacket to help warm her but it too was wet. The last thing he wanted was for her to catch a cold or flu from such weather conditions. Tag @phillipaf

Philipa laughed softly as the rain started to fall and she immediately stepped over to Benedict following his lead to somewhere dry. She didn't mind the rain but she knew her Mother would be furious to see her looking like a drown rat here.

She laughed again as the rain suddenly started to pour down on them.  It seems Mother Nature didn't want us outside this evening.
