Kate was tired of arguing with the brute of a man who owned the bakery in Mayfield. He owed her 2 week's pay and was refusing to give it to her. She had tried asking, and demanding, and blank mailing (sort of) but he knew that as a woman with no father and no husband that she was powerless to demand anything from him!
Which was why she was seeking out the aid of a barrister. Surly they would be able to demand he pay--and surely he would pay it up so not to have any unwanted attention on him. That was the plan at least! However after she visited one barrister (having picked the closest one to her) and he refusing to help her as the case was too small for his notice; Kate was now seeking out another. This time she had done her research!
She entered the building, and went to the office that was neatly painted with Bridgerton on the door. Opening it she found the male secretly (she assumed) standing beside the desk. "I am here to speak to Mr. Bridgerton." She said politely and firmly, while glancing at the door behind him that she assumed led to the barrister's office.

Kate knew that she was walking wide eyed though the darken halls of the house. She hadn't meant to get separated from Mr. Bridgerton, but she had and now she was slowly 'exploring' the party. From the first room she found two naked woman posing while others painted and drew their bodies as if it were flowers. To the room with the naked men being painted--to which she didn't dare enter, and thus only had seen their backsides. To the kissing going on. The awful lot of kissing. And touching. So much touching.
Pausing she watched two women begin kissing one man. So very much touching and so very much kissing. Needing to find a place to hide for a moment, and splash some cool water on her face to remove her blush--Kate began to slowly, one step at a time, move up the steps. Once she was on the top landing, she could hear the sounds coming from the rooms. Kate wasn't a fool. She knew that was more then touching there. Looking back down the steps she almost retreated--but then her eyes connected with his.
his--his. Anthony Bridgerton. He would be the type to enjoy these parties. She felt jealous and angry that he was here. She wanted to throw something at him. She could tell he didn't look pleased to see her here. As he begin to move toward the steps, Kate turned and hurried down the hall and deeper into the building. Finding a door that was quite, she pushed it open and stepped in to attempt to avoid him. Not that she wanted too. She had come to enjoy their bickering but wasn't quite sure what that meant. Or how he felt.

Lord Bridgerton, being the 'gentleman' he was, dismissed the words as nothing more then a falsehood spun by a mysterious figure. Only Kate liked that figure (most times), and to be fair it wasn't as if she was looking her best at that ball. "Now, now, Lord Bridgerton, we both know she spoke truth. I was in yellow." Compared to her dress now, which was green. She might end up likened to grass tonight. However there was a rumor that said that if one didn't get mentioned that it was worse because they weren't worth talking about. So in a way, it had put her name out there for others take notice of her.
He counted more about not thinking bad of the Bridgerton name and she knew what he meant. However she wondered why he meant it. It was normal enough that she didn't give the reason too much thought. Everyone here needed their name to be good and worth something. The ton lived and breathed based on how good your name was, and how much it was worth. "Lord Bridgerton, I do think differently of your family name for what she says about you. I judge a man by his own actions, not the actions of their family." Meaning she didn't judge the Bridgertons, just the Anthony part. Though it was a subtle enough barb that it should mostly go unnoticed.
Kate wasn't mean as a person, not nor did she let people think her meek. With her step-mother being mild mannered, and Edwina being naive and fresh from school she knew she had to be strong in her father's absence. She had to make the hard choices and help her family in the way of the world. Letting rakes think she would turn a blind eye to their behavior was something she could ill afford. So no, she wasn't so mean to everyone, but Anthony Bridgerton was a rake. And she had too much on the line to let him turn her head.

That was . . . unfortunate. Kate pressed her lips and took a deep breath to re-think her plan. His idea? She knew better. His father had wanted this, and the son was now trying to honor that. Honor. Men used that in ways that made her angry sometimes. His honor would make him marry someone he wasn't in love with? How was that honorable? To be miserable? Maybe she was simple minded and did understand little--because while she understood honoring someone, she didn't understand why she had to do it!
She tried to imagine if her father asked this of her, and then died. Yet as she had not lost anyone of importance in her life she had no understanding. Surely he wanted a younger, more mildly behaved and simple minded girl? Someone who would turn a blind eye to his raking? Someone who would not demand her fat dog be carted everywhere they went in the country? -- No offense to dear sweet Newton!
"Lord Bridgerton," she began, pausing for a moment to choose her words with care. "Do you not hold care that there is a great chance I will make you miserable?" She knew what she was like, and had no intention of changing. Her father would not let her cry off. She would end up married to this man sooner--rather then later--if he didn't. While she knew there was little chance of changing his mind--she would of course try to change it. Kate Sharma was not going down without a fight. Or at least . . . not going down alone.

Kate was enjoying the ball, even though she hadn't wanted to come in the first place. London was a bit over whelming for her, and she was still growing accustom to so many people together in one place. The balls she'd been too in the country were so much smaller, and simpler than that grand scale and ornate ball she was attending now. Jaded as she was however, she didn't stand cow eyed and giddy.
Hearing someone approach her, she smiled up at them--and the smile hesitated when she saw whom it was. Anthony Bridgerton. He spoke to her politely, and formally. It was a little hard to align this man with the charming rake that Whistledown painted him to be. "Lord Bridgerton." She gave her own bow. "I fear I have been introduced to you before." Not really. "Lady Whistledown wrote of you just yesterday, and was quite detailed in her introduction." She said it in amusement, even a little sarcastic. While not meant to insult him, it was hinting toward her knowing his reputation. Deciding to take some pity on him she continued, "Fear not, I believe on the same page, she said I looked like a scorched flower at the ball."
Kate was the type to be very clear in her meaning. Very direct in her words. Perhaps she was being too forward, but as she didn't see Bridgerton as a suitor she didn't brother with pretending flirt with him. Though now she realized he had not done the same. No comment on her gown or anything! Why would a rake not flirt?

Kate sat in the garden and worked on her watercolors. She was painting a tulip setting. Normally she was quite good, but she didn't have the focus today to think on what she was doing. It ended up a runny mess. Sighing in frustration, she pushed away from her easel and turned just as her maid came to inform her that Lord Anthony was here. She didn't like the idea of being 'given' away before she had spoken her first word. Yet it appeared she had no choice in the matter.
In a walk that was quick and clipped, almost a march, she walked toward the drawing room to inform Lord Anthony that she was no pleased with this arrangement. As she had no power to cry off, he should. Pushing open the drawing room door, Kate paused. Having not met Lord Anthony but a few times she knew him more by reputation then appearance. He certainly . . . filled out . . . nicely from the boy-man she had met last. "Lord Bridgerton," She greeted with a bow just low enough and long enough to count as polite, before standing.
Stepping forward she left the door open as to make everything proper. Between that and her maid they were well champeroned. Besides, her father cared not since he assumed them to wed. "Might I interest you in another bride?" It was direct. To the point. And every inch Kate Sharma.
