♡ SIMONE ASHLEY bridgerton season 3 premiere
harlowe’s glad to see some lightheartedness at this party . from the moment they stepped in , it seemed like everyone was walking on eggshells and using this party as a distraction from the latest vigilante news . just like how the masked killer called out the group’s mannerisms . “ glad to know that you’re one of the few i can count on to agree that an old fashioned isn’t pretentious , ” laughter expels past the musician’s lips . “ a spicy margarita , i hope ? that would DEFINITELY get mr. flavortown’s approval . ”
when bash sees harlowe smile, he's pleased with himself. if he even made one person smile with his silly goofy costume, mission accomplished. that was his entire thought process when picking out a costume. not if he'd look hot but if he'd make people smile. he smiles back at them and replies, "it doesn't sound pretentious to me at all." he picks up his drink and adds, "i'm having a margarita. i think mr. flavortown would approve."
“ cats are known to be able to mimic humans . but i think in this case , buttercup just doesn’t like you . i hate to break it to you , felix . i don’t know if there’s any way you can win her over . did you try bribing her with treats ? ”

“ i’m telling you , buttercup spoke — like , legit spoke - meowed ‘ go away ’ at me . i heard it , perfect pronunciation and full - on sass . ”
“ well i guess you can’t say that there aren’t people who don’t care about you if they’re texting you ‘ stay safe ’ . no matter how fake it sounds , ” nalini lightly jests , in an attempt to at least lighten the mood . is she scared about vigilante striking again ? yes . but what are the chances that she’s high up on the killer’s list ? that’s something nalini doesn’t want to take a gamble on . but she supposes that she’s not that high up on his list . call it a coping mechanism . “ i wouldn’t put it past vigilante to start bugging our homes . at the very least , he’s hiding in someone’s bushes . maybe he rotates every night . ” it comes off as if she’s joking but again … coping mechanism ! “ i think i might bail before midnight . haven’t decided yet . what about you ? ”
𝑻𝑨𝑮𝑮𝑰𝑵𝑮 ﹕ open .
eyes flick to her phone , another sigh slipping past lips . the screen barely dims before she stuffs it back into her pocket . “ i swear , if one more person texts me to ‘ stay safe ’ tonight , i’m gonna throw this thing at whoever looks at me funny next . i mean , come on — they’re acting like the psycho has been crouched in the bushes all night just waiting for me to step outside . sure , okay . ” shrugs , like it’s all a joke . ( call it selective ignorance , but noah simply doesn’t expect to be that high on the vigilante’s hit list . sure , there’s always a risk , but that’s half the point of showing up , right ? prove that she’s as unfazed as she looks — keep up appearances ) . “ guess that’s the whole plan , have us all living in panic mode , having us each thinking we’re next . anyway , you sticking around to tempt fate , or bailing before midnight like one of the smart ones ? ”
a small grin surfaces as she shakes her head . “ unfortunately not ! just maybe one or two dying to catch a glimpse as they hang out in front of my store . ” nalini will playfully wink . hands move up to place over her chest at val’s admission . for there’s truly nothing more satisfying than to see someone’s reaction to her compliments . “ well you shouldn’t have said that val , now i’ll have to make it my mission to throw out a compliment every time i see you . and that’s a promise ! ” laughter expels past the designer’s lips . what ? she can’t help it . “ oh life … ” she starts , blowing out a breath of air . “ i mean nothing new . all i do is work . attend the obligatory social gatherings . honestly val , my life is boring . it just revolves around fashion week and the met gala . and what about you ? the musician life has got to be FAR more interesting . ”
her lips turn upwards involuntarily , without a second thought . and god , how she loved anybody who wasn't a man ! ' oh , come on , i don't believe that . surely you've got the longest line of suitors waiting for their chance to even catch a glimpse . ' a small suck of her teeth , disbelief , came out . val's head will tilt to the side slightly , eyes lighting up - the quickest way to her heart is through her looks ! ' you know , i would never lie to you , so yes i've been told quite a few similar things , but just between you and i ... i like it much better coming from you . ' reign it back in , girl ! ' now tell me ... how's life been treating you these days ? '
