Chapter Text
With a jaunty grin on his face, Colin moved about the party with his wife at his side. His siblings could do nothing but groan as they hear another "Haaaaaave you met my wife - Penelope Bridgerton?"
Eloise rolled her eyes while Benedict smiled widely.
“Well I think it’s adorable” Daphne added.
“No, it was adorable the first week, now a year later it’s sickening,” Hyacinth made a gagging noise. Greg nodded profusely beside her.
“Sister sister sister - you didn’t overhear “My wife, oh yes my wife” in the entrance of their home as you went to visit them did you? Didn’t you say it echoed Eloise?”
Eloise paled and shuddered at the (not long enough) buried memory.
“There were slapping noises!” She replied with a traumatized look on her face.
“Why were there slapping noises Auntie Eloise?” Charlotte asked. Anthony and Kate had just walked up from behind them. The latter holding their daughter in his arms.
“Well thanks for that!” Anthony glared while Kate hid a smile behind the back of her hands.
Followed by another -
"Haaaaaave you met my wife - Penelope Bridgerton?"
Groans echoed all around and many eyes rolled back in exasperation.
