Peneople had found herself walking to the carriage with her family her mothrt and sister were already inside taking a glance at the Bridgreton house she could see darkness from the windows meaning they much already be there since it was Daphne and Simon turn to host a ball, Peneople signed as she sat in the carriage once the door closed and began to move along Peneople mind kept thinking, of course the Bridgretons would be on time or earlier to show support that was something expected from them to be there for each other nothing seemed to stunned them into silence they remain close it was something Peneople found comfort in whenever she was around them that they liked her enough to have her around so much she hated not having that closest anymore without the Bridgretons sadly Peneople had no one on her side.. apart from Kate.

As they carriage draw closer to the house Peneople felt her mothers hostile glares before finally hearing her mothers words "you should of woren pink Peneople we're all wearing pink" portia stated she couldn't help hut roll her eyes it made Peneople heart tump in her chest did she look bad?? "You're meant to match for heaven sake this ball is important " Portia stated with a clenched jaw, intense eye contact, furrowed brows as she waved her fan it wasn't even warm out...

"It's just another ball mother, its not as if anyone will notice" Peneople stated its true Peneople time has passed by now but that didn't stop Peneople hoping to find a husband under her mothers nose feeling that her mother would never dream of her marrying nor would she ensure Peneople marriage was a love match instead it would be for money and titles.

"I'm surprised your so .. still" Prudence questioned looking at her with a rised brow "what do you mean?" She asked holding one hand within the other "I saw you yesterday walking with a gentleman at the garden party" Prudence replied Peneople didnt say anything instead feeling the martial of her gloves "a gentleman? Peneople you never informed me of this who is he, is he a master or a lord" Portia questioned rather shocked by the news "he was escorting me from Lord Fife" peneople spoke quietly "Lord Fife..." portia muttered placing her fan on her lap "well he certainly has his hands full this season " Portia said looking outside the window.
