I feel it too😢
I'm still waiting for the "Evelina meets Duke Alexander" moment, but this was a great chapter. I'm more touched by how Prissy avoided just telling Evelina that it was the Duke who had just arrived. Such a realistic friendship. Smh. As for Colin, I guess he was too shocked to speak and then knowing his mother and sister's intention to trap his best friend into marrying the latter while Alexander is heavily in love with Evelina aka his sister's best friend, it was just too much for him and so he had to run away or better yet find Alexander before he had a chance to meet Evelina himself.
I have a bunch of Priscilla's all around me. 😆
"Well, you're at a ball, Evelina. You're allowed to have a bit of fun. And flirting with rich, random men on the dance floor will do you a world of good." She finished with a little giggle.

Seriously! To be on your knees for so long! Obviously not for two hours!
"Très beau! It is finished." The active plum wept with passion after being on her knees at Evelina's side for so long.

It's not just you. I have also noticed that she gets upset easily.
"For God's sake, Germaine! What is taking so long with her dress?" Breanna marched into the changing room, her temper bouncing off the walls before she'd even got her feet in the door. "We would be very late at this rate."

Those two deserve to meet already. I mean, Evelina and the Duke. Tension is high over here. Great going, author
"Not yet," said Priscilla. "But I'll see him tonight. And so will you. Colin assures me he is well on his way."

So Priscilla is Colin's sister and also Evelina's best friend, but her mother wants her to marry the Duke, whom Colin is currently chastising for not going after the woman he wants (the right way, that is). Oh boy! I wonder how Priscilla would take it if she knew that Alexander was already very much involved with Evelina.
I should probably wait a few more chapters before dropping this, but no. I can't. This book is just too good, it makes me want to cry. The slow build up between the main characters is something to cringe at and like this book is definitely worth your time.
No choice? Did he just say no choice??
"She has no choice but to like me. I am every woman's dream. What's more, you're unsure about the former." Alexander said.

I'm uncertain about how to feel regarding Priscilla's pursuit of the Duke as he sets out (by chance) to find Evelina. While Priscilla's intentions may be good, I have my doubts that this encounter will end positively. 🤞
"This is not good. I was supposed to introduce him to Evelina myself," Priscilla muttered to herself before hastily descending the stairs and weaving through the throngs of people in the ballroom. She was determined to catch up to Alexander.
