Summary
Anthony could not change his actions from before, though he wished desperately that he could.
“I have no means of going back to before, Miss Sharma,” he said, “But perhaps, at least while we are here in these woods, we can try again. Start over, from the beginning.” She looked at him, confused, and he continued with a teasing grin, “You are simply a lady taking a morning ride. I am a handsome gentleman who has crossed your path.”
At that, Kate let out an amused scoff and Anthony’s grin widened.
_______________The courtship ends at Aubrey Hall, but Anthony and Kate continue their morning rides.

Summary
He lowered his voice. “You are the most capable and intelligent person I have yet to meet. You make all of us look like fools.”
Her mouth opened in surprise before she quickly hid her feelings again. “Even you, my lord?”
She was smiling, clearly expecting an argument, but Anthony did not want her to think he took this lightly. He needed to correct her thinking. She needed to know that his initial promises were changing. Even if she did not reciprocate, he valued their honest rapport.
“You have made me the biggest fool, I think. For I thought I could pursue this courtship without any affection or strong feelings. Yet, it is impossible for me to feel nothing when I am with you.”
************
Anthony decides that Kate is the only woman fit to be Viscountess Bridgerton and catches feelings along the way. Fortunately, so does Kate.
