"You seem distracted, didi" Edwina tells Kate

"Its, uh, just a headache" Kate says and walks over to Edwina after the maid was done dressing her.

I look at Kate worriedly, the ladies maid doing the finishing touched to my hair.

"From, uh, all the excitement these days"

"Is that all that ails you? I have seen how ill at ease you are with the Viscount" I see Kates eyes flick over to me "I was hoping we had put all that behind us now that, Anthony is to be my husband" She smiled giddily

"He has asked you to call him by his given name?" Kate said shocked

"No, not yet" Edwina frowned "It is weird, he gave Y/n the privilege before me, and I, am the one who is going to be his wife" I ignore their talk

"But it sounds fine, does it not?"

"Do you think the Sheffields, will like us?" I ask them, changing the conversation My stomach is in a knot, wondering what they will think of me, considering I am one and twenty, not married yet, even if it is my first season, and that Edwina was chosen as the Incomparable being younger than me

"Sisters, before you go, there is something I must tell you both" Kate started, we look at her expectantly

"Our guests have arrived" Lady Danbury interrupts her, Edwina and I looked at each other and smiled, we held hands and walked to the dining room together.

"Ah, Lord and Lady Sheffield, it has been too long, may I present, Miss Sharma and Miss Y/n and Edwina Sharma" we bowed in greeting

"Oh my dears, look at you" Lady Sheffield smiled "Aren't they as lovely as the reports say" She looked at me

"Although we were kind of shocked that your younger sister, got to be the incomparable, instead of you" She laughed "Imagine being overthrown by your younger sister, she is the Incomparable and marrying a Viscount" my smile dimmed at her insult

I looked back at Mama and Kate, they smiled at me reassuringly, I turned back around and got a glimpse of Anthony's expression from behind the Sheffields, his jaw tightened in annoyance.

"We are so happy to make your acquaintance" I said instead, Lady Sheffield gave me a tight smile

"Yes, I am sure" She turned back to Edwina, giving her all her attention "I wish to know everything about you, do you enjoy dancing, music"

"You must accompany us to the opera" Lord Sheffield added

I looked between them three before turning and walking back next to Kate, my cheerful mood now gone.

"We have a box that is gathering dust"

"Indeed it has been too long since weve seen you both in town, Lord and Lady Sheffield" Lady Bridgerton said

"Yes, indeed it has" Lady Sheffield snarled, looking at mama

"Mother, father" mama greeted

"I do enjoy the opera, My sister, Kate, was the one who introduced Y/n and I, into it" The Sheffields said nothing

"Oh, shall we go through to dinner" Lady Danbury cuts through the silence
