Kate went on about her day chaperoning Edwina but she was only half present her mind kept on wandering to one elder Bridgerton.The entire morning she was in a haze after Lord Bridgerton called on her, The call had been short but had done its purpose.To show everyone that he was serious about courting her.
She was upset that she had already agreed to chaperone Edwina, for as much as she 'disliked' him she would of enjoyed his company at the races.No you cannot think like that Kate, You cannot get attached to him you are going back to India after she marries.She told herself in her head.
The carriage ride to the races was too short for comfort. Edwina to busy talking about her own prospects to notice anything.As soon as she was pronounced the diamond Edwina she became more absorbed in her own prospects.Kate noticed this almost immediately after the conversation she had overheard and was on the verge of another plan.To marry Lord Bridgerton and become his Viscountess only one problem.
He vexed her
She thought about there conversation the previous night he seemed to be deeply interested in her well-fare.Like he wanted to help her through the hard times.It felt odd she had never felt the same for anyone before.She was certain it wasn't love.Dear god!She had only known him for a week or even less.She snapped out of the daze she had been in when a cane connected to her foot.
''Miss Sharma it is unlike you to be silent.''Lady Danbury said looking at her more oddly than normal
''I am merely thinking Lady Danbury''She replied hopeful that the conversation would end
''Miss Sharma will you please share''Lady Danbury said with a smile
''I would rather not Lady Danbury''Kate replied in a flash
"She's probably thinking of how Lord Bridgerton is soooo perfect for her"Edwina sneered at Kate
"Miss Edwina you forget your place"Lady Danbury scowled at her
"And you forget it was supposed to be my season"She lashed out again
"And you forget your place in society"Lady Danbury snapped back
"I am the diamond of the season,I am the highest ranking lady in all of the marriage mart"Edwina nearly yelled
"And one who acts like a toddler"Kate retorted
Edwina gasped at this and Lady Danbury smiled at it."Your sister is right"Lady Danbury said"You will be the first diamond to not be married in your first season if you keep acting like a toddler"
"Lady Dan-"
"You will speak when I am finished"Lady Danbury said harshly"You are jealous because your 'spinster' sister has caught the eye of a viscount immediately and especially one who would move sun and moon to be with her or even see her smile.You Miss Edwina if you keep acting like you are you will have no match and will need to live of Kate as everyone would avoid you"
The carriage stopped and Edwina put on a bright smile and calm composure and stepped out the carriage.
