Just say Yas!

Dreams do come true ✨

She needs a bit of validation. She needs words of affirmation. And if she ain’t getting that… nah, you’re getting a block. — Yerin Ha

Words of affirmation, yeah. She needs to be told again and again, because she doesn’t believe it! — Luke Thompson

I’m giving Luke all the credit for that ‘I love you’ moment. That little arm gesture just did me in. That’s saying, “I’m here. I’m surrendering. But now it’s up to you.” Seeing her then make the full walk back to him, I had full-body chills on the day. And I have chills when I watch it, because it’s a chemistry and an understanding of character that you can’t direct. You just have to stay out of the way of it. — Dir. Gia-Rayne Harris

It’s a seminal moment. It’s a beautiful speech. I wanted it to honor the fact that there is that expectation, but also to make it true to the character. It’s infused by how Benedict feels about love and feels about really, really saying to someone, “I love you.” I feel like he’s never said it to anyone. Benedict is very good at big gestures and big sentiment. The thing that always trips him up is what happens the next day, or what happens afterwards. — Luke Thompson

Mr. Darcy walked so that Benedict Bridgerton could run (x)

There is not a single moment you do not fill my mind. I've heard every qualm you've raised about being with me, and I wish there was some other way for us to be together. But the thought of spending a single day without you torments my soul. You deserve the very world, but how else am I to be with a woman society has made it impossible for me to be with? The woman I was foolish enough to fall in love with.

Was inspired by the previous post a while back, and had been working on this on and off for a long while.
