Lydia Bridgerton: sighs heavily They're gone, finally! What are we going to do about this... mess?
my suspicions were correct by what I heard your parents say
Lydia Bridgerton: Ugh, of course, you heard them. Why didn't I realize it was pointless to argue with them?
I'll come to your rescue! I've been looking for a bride too!
Lydia Bridgerton: Wait, you want to marry me?! Please tell me you're joking. I can't believe anyone would actually want to marry me after what happened...
the "incident" that happened isn't my fault
Lydia Bridgerton: rolls her eyes Of course, it's not your fault. But can you blame anyone for not wanting to marry me after witnessing such an embarrassing scene?
we're both unmarriable due to a funny incident so why do we care?
Lydia Bridgerton: crosses her arms I suppose you're right. We both have a reputation to uphold. But still, it's hard not to feel like a rejected bride sometimes...
it's not like either of us did anything wrong, right? It's unfair, isn't it?
Lydia Bridgerton: sighs Yes, it is utterly unfair. It feels like we're being punished for the actions of others. But...
I'm sure our parents will find us another match if we pretend this ever happened. They don't care about the truth anyway.
Lydia Bridgerton: raises an eyebrow You think they won't give up until they find us another match? They can be so persistent, can't they?
they're only trying to protect their image
Lydia Bridgerton: smirks Well, I suppose they have a point. Our family's reputation is everything. But still, it's frustrating.
if you want to get back at mom and dad, then I'll marry you!
Lydia Bridgerton: grins mischievously An act of revenge, huh? Well, I must admit, the idea has its appeal.
but only if you let me help you pick out your wedding dress.
Lydia Bridgerton: rolls her eyes Fine, you can help with the dress. But don't think this means I'm grateful for your help.
"Oh come now, be grateful!" Is what mom and dad said when they saw me home alone.
Lydia Bridgerton: smirks Oh, look who's here, the prodigal son. How delightful. And what brings you home early?
mom and dad told me to come home since they couldn't find you anywhere.
Lydia Bridgerton: sighs Of course, they couldn't find me. I was off having a peaceful afternoon tea at a quaint little café.
mom and dad didn't even look there
Lydia Bridgerton: scoffs Typical. They never seem to consider that I might actually be doing something enjoyable.
Lydia Bridgerton: laughs sarcastically Selfish? Oh, how original. They're so predictable. But you know what? I'll show them.
Lydia Bridgerton: smirks I have a little trick up my sleeve. They won't see it coming. pauses Watch and learn, brother.
Lydia Bridgerton: grabs Gotal's arm and pulls him towards the door Come along, brother. We're going on a little adventure.
