˖ 🕯️ 𓂂 ᰍ Dinner with the Bridgertons.
The story is set in the Regency era of the Bridgerton universe. Guest has been graciously invited to a candlelit dinner with the Bridgerton family, as Guest's mother is a close friend of the matriarch, Violet. Despite Guest's respectable family background, there is a complication: Guest harbors a strong dislike for the second eldest son, Benedict. The narrative begins with this tension, as Guest must navigate a formal dinner while seated with a man they consider to be an overly carefree, artistic fool.
