❝  you wanna know how i know you’re a good friend— not just for me but in general?  i always feel better after hanging out with you.  ❞

❝  sometimes things aren’t alright and they’re not gonna be okay for a while.  and that’s alright.  as cliche as it sounds it’s okay to not be okay.  give yourself time.  ❞

❝  have you even taken the time to let yourself feel it?  everything that’s been happening.  eventually,  you have to slow down and let it feel real.  ❞

❝   i’m not really the advice type,  but i am damn good at coming up with distractions to forget the bullshit for a while.  ❞

❝  was this not what you expected?  ❞

❝  i think the whole idea of ‘finding yourself’ is kind of bullshit.  we are what we chose to be.  we make ourselves.   ❞

❝  did you come by for a reason or did you just want some company?  ❞

❝  i’m going to tell you this,  once,  because i think you need to hear it.  you deserve more.  you should expect more from the world and put in the work to get what you deserve.  ❞

❝  i brought some seeds for your garden.  i thought about bringing a bouquet but— this way you can grow them and enjoy them longer.  ❞

❝  please,  stay for dinner?  i enjoy your company.  ❞

❝  come sit a little while with me.  tell me how you’ve been?  really.  ❞

❝  you don’t know how glad i am to see you made it.  here,  let me get you a drink.   ❞

❝  if you’d like to discuss it in private,  we can step outside?  ❞

❝  whatever it is you wish to tell me,  it won’t leave this room.  ❞

❝  well,  i’ve been wanting to talk to you.  but i don’t really know how to put it all in words.  ❞

❝  how have you been sleeping?  ❞

❝  don’t take this the wrong way,  but you don’t quite look well.  ❞

❝  don’t feel bad for not knowing—  i was trying not to bother anyone.  you didn’t know because i didn’t let you.  ❞

❝  miscommunication is a shitty trope in sitcoms and it’s even shittier in real life,  so let’s just take a moment to breathe.  and let’s get on the same page.  alright?   ❞

❝  is this a time for me to listen or fix it?  ❞

❝  i don’t really have anything to say,  i just know that i don’t really want to be alone.  ❞

❝  could you just…talk to me?  it doesn’t have to be anything important.  i just like listening to your voice.  it calms me.  ❞

❝  honestly,  it was a long time ago.  i don’t really remember the details.  ❞

❝  i’m rather proud of you.  i don’t say that often,  so believe i mean it.  ❞

❝  you seem content here.  happy,  even?  ❞

❝  i’m not here to drudge up the past.  i’m just hoping we could have a future.  ❞

❝  i see you’re not getting much sleep either.  should i make us both some tea,  then?  ❞

❝  are you sure you didn’t want to mention something to me?  ❞

❝  are you sure you’re alright?  ❞

❝  i’m a fan of your work,  actually.  ❞

❝  you have more of a reputation than you might think.  ❞

❝  you haven’t heard of me?  how refreshing.  ❞

❝  go on,  tell me what’s on your mind.  ❞

❝  something is troubling you,  yes?  ❞

❝  with a smile like that,  i can’t help but want to know your secret.  what’s got you so cheery today?  ❞

❝  come on,  you’re clearly upset.  and i’m not the asshole who pretends not to notice.  ❞

a collection of random dialogue prompts from season two of bridgerton! change all pronouns/gendered language as you need!

❛There are two things that lurk within the dark and shadowy places of our fair city. Vermin and secrets.❜

❛Is that a promise or a threat?❜

❛Say you do not care for me. Say you feel nothing, and I will walk away.❜

❛Regardless of the truth, people… nay, gossips, they will contrive shameless falsehoods.❜

❛There shall be dancing.❜

❛Scandals may cast aspersions but they do not obligate us to answer to anyone.❜

❛Your future will certainly not be found in the past with me.❜

❛Take your Trojan horse elsewhere.❜

❛You do know you cannot show someone your best without allowing them to see your worst.❜

❛Can you ever just agree?❜

❛I saw a light and thought I might have left a candle lit.❜

❛Worldly travelers use it as a way to open their minds and transcend ordinary anxieties.❜

❛I do not know which pains me more, your betrayal or your pity.❜

❛So many flowers when what I really seek is a gem.❜

❛ Do not leave me!❜

“Do you think there is a corner of this earth that you could travel to far away enough to free me from this torment?❜

❛There is nothing worse than rotting flowers when someone is unwell.❜

❛Is there not something in all of us that requires a challenge?❜

❛Pride may not be as precious to you as your breath.❜

❛Would you like a companion? Imposter party for two?❜

❛Let us hope he has more. One bauble does not a fortune make.❜

❛What exactly are the rules of this game?❜

❛You understood our arrangement came with risks.❜

❛Perhaps we pretend this encounter never took place?❜

❛Oh I shall never listen to you! Or anyone I wholeheartedly disagree with!❜

❛I, of course, am an enigma and will divulge none of my secrets.❜

❛I do believe we must allow ourselves those private moments, so we may face reality armed with our reveries.❜

❛True love is something else entirely. It is when the rest of the world goes quiet. It is not eyes that meet, but souls that dance.❜

❛Beating you feels the same as any other win, but somehow smells sweeter.❜

❛An insipid wallflower, indeed.❜

❛Your confidence is admirable, I concede.❜

❛For the first time in my life, I do not know what to do.❜

❛It is a pleasing, stimulating, thrilling, kind of torment. Have you ever felt that way?❜

❛You are the bane of my existence and the object of my desires.❜

❛Soon you shall be just as jaded as the rest of us.❜

❛I look at you now, and all I feel is pity for you.❜

❛The moment we go, the moment we step foot outside those doors, we face the truth.❜

❛You worry about being seen.❜

❛You vex me!❜

❛We must be careful not to attract too much attention.❜

❛I would rather go out there and offer my hand to one of those birds. It would be less painful!❜

❛Oh, here we go! Enthrall me with your self knowledge and awareness!❜

❛Your dreams are grander than you let on.❜

❛Happy endings do not exist. At least, not in real life.❜

❛We did a terrible thing.❜

❛That scent. It has remained imprinted on my mind since the night on the terrace.❜

❛I heard it was you who found me and brought me home safe.❜

❛You are running away.❜

❛Just keep looking at me. No one else matters.❜

❛Are you going to ask me to dance? One last time?❜

The bright New Year’s Ball has ended, with a few shenanigans of course and now the brisk February brings a hopeless romantic’s favorite holiday: Valentine’s Day! Full of whispered promises and broken hearts, new engagements and sexy scandals! But before anyone is to profess anything, Lady Eleanor Tremaine, daughter to the late Éduoard - Earl of Elgin has cordially invited all the ladies to her home for a Valentine’s Tea. No men are welcome except to drop their ladies off, it is a Ladies tea after all. The men are welcome to find their own mischief, however, at least until the sun sets when the Valentine’s Ball starts.

The garden, a pride of Lady Ella’s, is open as will the ballroom and filled with food and refreshments. While Valentine’s Day is meant for lovers, it is also for the love of friends and family that Lady Ella will encourage as her home will be open to families. There are trinkets for the children so they feel welcomed, something put together by the ladies during tea.
