If I had a nickel for every time a Bridgerton brother was called out by his future wife at a Danbury ball, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's still weird it happened twice.

Summary: A weekend break in the country is just what Kate needs. A ‘no boys allowed’ trip to take her mind off her busy life and demanding family, that is until fate intervenes and deposits on her doorstep millionaire playboy and Formula One driver Anthony Bridgerton.
Lost, Drifting - Chapter 5 - I Just Want to Dance with You
All he wanted was to follow her to the dance floor, feeling the rumble of her words against his chest, the warmth of her body slotted against his.
If he could have that, only those simple, easy things, he would be content. He would settle for his lot in life, and accept whatever he had to accept. Was it too much to ask?
It was foolish of him to even question. Of course, it was too much.

The city festival comes and nothing goes the way either Anthony or Kate hoped.
I told you I'd be here and here I am with that kiss I promised. Don't be VERY mad at Anthony, he's struggling here.
A much-needed conversation is coming in the next chapter;
For @harnitbee and @ladystanbury my million thanks for all the support. You are my rocks!
For everyone reading, I love you all so much, your comments and kudos make my day better!
You Used To Live in My Head (Now I Carry You In My Heart) - Chapter 3
Anthony and Kate's friendship continues to develop and everyone but them can see where that's going.
Hello, it's Thursday and we're here for another update! I hope you enjoy the silly.
Next Thursday Kate'll be officially meeting the last two 🐝s (or not 2 🐝s? Wholy shit that was terrible, ignore me, Idk how @harnitbee thinks I'm any good at this, my sense of humour is broken) in the sibling clan and we'll have access to our fave group "No Future Monarchs Allowed". We'll let you wonder who's part of that group and what's being discussed there.
Lost, Drifting - Chapter 4 - You can't predict the end
"That was all to say he had all but forgotten about Doctor Dorset's visit, much too busy with other important things, until he walked into the Sharma's drawing room halfway through the morning the day before the festival to find the man seated in one of the sofas, happily sipping on his tea and making not very subtle eyes at Kate.
Anthony hated him."

A certain doctor comes to town, stirring in Anthony a myriad of feelings, none of them good, and forcing him to consider his future and Kate's.
HELLO Y'ALL! DID YOU MISS ME?! (Is anyone even still reading this?)
I was feeling sad and pouty and dramatic last night and kinda fueled those feelings into working on Lost, Drifting.
I'll confess, this part of the chapter was already written, but as I went the chap kinda got way too big (over 12K I need to be stopped) and I decided this needed to go apart.
The good news is that the second part of this (and this kiss I promised) is coming on Friday, so keep an eye out for it!
I hope you like this chapter (I don't love it but I'm very mean to myself) and please understand Anthony's having a difficult moment? Is he being dumb? Yes, but cut the man some slack, it's probs not easy for him rn.
