DAPHNE BRIDGERTON and her mother made it to the opera walking inside making their way to their box until they were called over By Lady Danbury.
" Our box, mama?" Daphne questioned as she looked from Lord Berbrooke to her mother. It freaked her out how much Lord Berbrooke was always interested in speaking to her. " Mh-mhm" their mother hummed.
" Lady Bridgerton!" Lady Danbury shouted from only a few metres away. " Do join us." Lady Danbury offered. The two Bridgerton walked in her direction bowing their heads in respects to the queen. " Your majesty, good evening. You must remember my daughter, Daphne." Voilet introduced her daughter to the queen reminded her of the day she first met Daphne, at the social seasons gathering.

" His grace is very Fortunate to have you there with him as a child after what happened to his mother. Awful!" Lady Bridgerton shared her sorrows for the Duke.
" He is not what Whistledown writes." Lady Danbury defended.
" Nor is Daphne." Violet spoke with authority. " It would seem the two of them have that much in common, then." Lady Danbury said with a small shrug implying a few things. " Matches have certainly been made with far less."
" What are you suggesting?" Lady Bridgerton questioned.
" Lady Whistledown merely writes what she sees. Perhaps we need to help her to see things a but more clearly." Lady Danbury smirked before continuing. " The Duke is quite fond of gooseberry pie." She added making Violets face lighten
