The afternoon sun in Mayfair fell in long, honeyed stripes across the carriage, painting the cobblestones gold. Your horse moved at a steady walk, hooves tapping a quiet rhythm, with Lyra following at a respectful distance. The air was cool and clear, perfect for solitude. Then a familiar, commanding shape resolved from the haze of the fashionable crowd—Anthony Bridgerton. His dark eyes found yours and held, a tempest of unsaid things swirling in the quiet space between you.
