⎯𝐖𝐇𝐈𝐋𝐄 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐖𝐄𝐃𝐃𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐀𝐑𝐑𝐀𝐆𝐄𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 was being arranged by the queen herself, Eleanor could not help but feel the same dread and anxiety that she felt after the dinner that happens last night, 

the thoughts have been lingering on her mind, was she even perfect enough to be a wife for a viscount bridgerton? will the expectation from the ton be good enough that she can reach and brushed it to please them, 

at a young age, Eleanor Greenwood has never ever doubted her actions, she couldn't care if it did not hurt her family name... but now as her grandparents have been judging her and giving her the remarks that even she does not like, 

she was rethinking it all again, "Eleanor," she heard a muffled voice from the other side of the door as she was startled by the knock, "Ah yes, um come in, please," she said with a nervous voice, 

When the door opened she saw her father, coming into her room, "Are you alright?" he asked her as he saw her sitting in the window as she was admiring the sky with an expression to be stoic, "Yes, of course, why you ask, father?" she said questioning his curiousness, 

"about last night, your grandparents were..."

"Please... father let's not," the words that she was about to form were stuck in her throat as she was about to start crying her eyes out as what she was feeling, 

Even if Anthony have help her ease up her mind and also led to an eventful and magical kiss, she was still thinking about it. Thomas sighed and went up to his daughter and sat beside her as his daughter was trying to calm herself down, 

"My sweet child, you know you could tell papa anything," he told her seeing as she flinched at the thought of her telling her father the stupid mind she was thinking, "It's stupid father... do not worry,"

His heart breaks at the sight of his daughter letting out tears from her eyes down to her cheek, "Nonsense, darling, whatever you are thinking or even feel, it is not stupid," he said as he tried to soothe her back with his hand, 

"Talk to me, Nora," he told her using the old nickname that he has been calling her since she was a small babe, Eleanor glanced at her father and took a deep breath, "Am I not fit enough for the society? that grandparents have seen me as an outcast?" she asks as she looks at him fully, 

His heart sank as he heard her daughter think about herself, the girl that never thought about what others have thought of her was now thinking about the reason why people do not like her... the old Eleanor has never done this, 

"Nora-"

"Why do I have to be like this father? why am I like this? have I done something so wrong to make them think of me wrongly? please tell me, send me your wisdom as I'm-," she sobbed as she hugged herself as her life was depending on her,
