How? How did Jonny and Simone and Charithra simply nail their characters so well that I can see it even in this little promo video?

Those who haven't read the book and don't want to be spoiled, please skip! 



My S2 wish list


Ok, I know the show will be different from the book, and some of the spoilers we've seen already seems to indicate this but there are some cute and some key scenes in the book (and some that aren't) that I'd really, really like to see play out on screen, and I thought I'd list them down and then after my binge-watch it might be fun to come back and see how many of these actually made it .. πŸ˜†

I have the book with me now and I'll list them chapter-wise.

Warning: This will be LONG!! 


The Viscount who loved me


(Chapters 1 - 11)


The Prologue: 


This starts with A's flashback. I know we're getting teen!A shooting with Edmund, but I so wanna see A as a little boy, and A getting the pocket watch from Edmund on his 8th birthday and him knowing his relationship with his dad was a little bit more special than his siblings - not because he loved him the most, but because he had known him the longest (this part truly kills me). 

I think they'll show in the series Edmund dying in front of A (from that one still of A's shocked face) so I don't think his discovery of his dad's death will play out the way it did in the book, but yh sign me up for all the A and Edmund content!

A consoling Violet even though he is breaking inside. This is something I NEED! It quite essentially showcases who A is. He had to be strong for his mother (who was pregnant) and for his siblings. He had no time to mourn.


Chapter 1


E begins teasing K about her interest in the Viscount right at the beginning. 

"He could probably seduce an iceberg," says K even before she meets him, just on the basis of Lady W's write-ups. Yh, Kate, you might be correct! πŸ˜†


Right off the bat, K expresses her disdain for A and tells Mary she should not allow him to court Edwina. 

Now I know they've already built Lady W up to be some kind of a malicious gossip girl types and not a harmless cat like she's in the books, but the way she writes about Kate - like saying she looked like a 'singed daffodil in yellow', that's the extent she goes to in the books, and I really wish it had stayed like that in the series too, but ik it's too late for that! 


Edwina announcing at the Smythe-Smith musicale that she would not marry without K's approval! πŸ€£This is a scene mentioned in the book, but I'd love it if it actually happened! And I really, really want to see a SS musicale in the show!


K reassuring Edwina that she doesn't have to marry anyone she doesn't like just to boost their financial status. She wants her to marry for love (I think this will come in from what I've seen in the trailer)


Oh and A announcing that he's thinking about getting married and B and C's reactions to it is pure comedy GOLD, and I do so wanna see it play out! πŸ€£

Instead it looks like he might be telling B and G about it on their carriage ride and listing out his attributes for an ideal wife as well! And looks like he'll do this more than once because K hears him and proceeds to roast him at the ball.


Chapter 2


Hartside Ball: 

It is the first ball I think that Lady D brings K and Edwina and Mary to, that we see in the trailer. (In the book, Edwina is supposed to be in blue and K in green)


A asking Edwina to dance - I think is there.


Ahh, K and Mary convo, and Mary saying A and Edwina make a handsome couple. I think Mary senses something from the start and she secretly ships K and A. There are some indications of it in the book, I wonder if we will see it play out though.


Ohh the next part in the book is GOLD! Colin comes in and chats with K, and realizes she does not approve of A at all (for Edwina) and then deliberately tries to set them up knowing A will get an earful (in this case a footful of K πŸ€£). I know this won't happen either - instead we get to see the 'roasting' about deficient horsemanship and character. 

But yh, it would be nice to see K and Colin chat - any K convo with any B sibling would be welcome actually! Especially Gregory (who might put a frog in her chair as Colin says quite cheekily!)


C recommending K to A and telling him he'll have no trouble winning her over and calling her - quite deviously- an aging spinster πŸ€£, and then A saying, "I don't want her to fall in love with me!" Oh, I so want this!! 

Foreshadowing ftw!


This is first time A sees K in the book, but ik in the series they meet during an early morning horse ride at which K bests A. So that's good too! I think I will like that!


Chapter 3


K stepping on A's foot while dancing, and A immediately discerning she hates him. And even in that moment, she makes him laugh (right after she discerns he did not smile much!) And this is why I cry because they recognize things about each other even before they actually 'know' each other and I hope this is shown in some way in the show!


He calls her as beautiful as Edwina when they first meet, and K thinks that's insincere and doesn't trust him. But A really thinks she is, and therein lies the key A and K dynamic. How will they explore this? Will K in the show be exactly like this? I'm eager to find out!

They share such a delicious banter during the dance! And he does try to seduce her even then! Such a rake!!! 


Then she deliberately steps on his foot, he calls her a menace and she tells him he needs thicker boots! I really wanna see this! πŸ˜†



And then the next day he comes to call for Edwina and brings flowers for all of them - K, Mary and Edwina!  He gives her pink roses and K realizes no one had ever brought her flowers before.

I believe this is the moment she gets taken in by his thoughtfulness and starts to fall for him and no one is gonna convince me otherwise. 

They argue of course and she tells him he should be nicer to her if her wanted her to approve him for Edwina and he says, "What can I say? You do something to me, Miss Sheffield!" And that statement is sooo loaded, so full of innuendo that I can't! β˜ΊοΈ


And then he smiles at her and her KNEES go wobbly, she feels faint and this is a MOMENT! A Kathony moment - and this is who they are: one minute they argue and the next descends into sexual tension and I think Jimone will be able to capture this really well!


I don't think we'll see this - or we might, but not the first time A visits Edwina to court her because we see K slamming the door in his face in the trailer.


Idk if they're going to bring in Berbrooke as a suitor for Edwina this season (probably not) - he's actually quite funny and harmless in the book! And they are unchaperoned for a looong time here, and they realize it only much later πŸ˜†, which brings to mind Simone's statement that everytime A and K are alone together something happens, and I wonder if this scene is there - something does happen.


Enter Newton now. So I don't think we'll see this play out exactly like in the book. It looks like A meets Newton for the first time when the Sharmas get invited to the Aubrey Hall house party. Pity! Missed opportunity! I so wanted to see A shut Newton down with a masterful, "Good day, dog!" and Newton smiling up at him! πŸ˜† 


Chapter 4


It looks like they've framed more K-getting-the-upperhand-over-A moments in the show whereas in the book, they're more evenly balanced.

Mary does not 'like' Newton in the book, but again the show will not go that way I think!

And here we have Mary deliberately throwing A and K together (which makes me wonder if she's going to be a kathony shipper in the show too!) and sends them out on a walk with Newton. 

And here's where we see A's attraction to K. And the allusion to lilies, which is going to drive him mad later. So yh, I wanna see this! 

And then the whole pandemonium with Newton running, A and K chasing him, is sooo funny. He runs to the Serpentine, him pushing Edwina in the water, A pulling her out, and then proceeding to blame K for the whole thing accusing her of doing it on purpose. And then she tells him yeah right I know the secret language of corgis and I engineered this whole thing!

"Sarcasm does not become you, Miss Sheffield!" he says.

"Nothing becomes you, Lord Bridgerton!" she retorts!

 

I wanna see this dialogue play out somewhere, some time. It's just so good!

And then she asks Newton to shake and he does and we have a wet, and furious Viscount (but not quite as wet as the one on the show who actually takes a plunge in the lake, so i'll give the show one over the book here! πŸ˜†)



Chapter 5


Edwina falls sick after getting dunked in the Serpentine and K is questioning her about what happened the previous day when A had escorted her home, leaving K with Berbrooke. And Edwina is so casual about it, she says she cannot even remember what he said and K is getting hot and bothered - thinking every single word A says is etched permanently in her brain! And then gets upset when Edwina says he did not mention K at all! 

Wow what a realization this is! This is how books score over shows every time, it's hard to 'show' such things and that's where the actors' prowess comes in, and their ability to portray the right emotions.

Edwina thinks A will be a good match and K tries to persuade her she's wrong, telling her he's putting on an act being nice to her because he's never been on his best behaviour with her - Kate! Edwina asks her then if he kissed her! Oh my! πŸ˜†

This bit of teasing is soo fun between the sisters and here's where it's apparent that Edwina isn't the least bit interested in A romantically. I hope it plays out exactly like this! 


Mary insists Kate go to Lady Bridgerton's musicale with her, Edwina still being sick. Ohh this is a delicious set-up because it leads to the desk scene and their first kiss but eh, I don't think we'll see this either!

Maria Rosso (the opera singer that A 'sees' casually who was replaced by Siena Rosso in the show) is performing. 

A watches K arrive and his breath is sucked right out of him. And here's where he's telling himself it's ridiculous and that he doesn't even like her! (this comes out in the confession on their wedding night)

We get an insight about A's erotic dreams about K and I'm thinking the bathtub scene or the one where he's tossing and turning restlessly in bed is probably this. β˜ΊοΈ



Chapter 6


And K senses when A walks into the room. 

I think this is shown in a way - they sensing each other's presence. In that moment in the trailer when Daff is asking A if this woman (meaning Edwina) has truly won his heart, and we see A sharing a drink with Edwina and pausing for a moment like he knew K is in the room and their eyes meet across the room. Bamm! MAGIC! CHEMISTRY!


K gets jealous of all the attention Maria Rosso is giving A, and yh, we won't see this bit and idc much. She's watching him flirt with Maria and she's fascinated despite herself. And Mary notices πŸ˜†


Here's where K meets Violet and Eloise for the first time and there's a little convo she has with Mama F too about the incident on the Serpentine which ofc has been published on Whistledown. And then she escapes into the office where she gets locked in by A and Maria and hides under the desk and watches them flirt. Then A realizes she's there and tries to get Maria out, he steps on her hand and she bites his leg! πŸ€£

It's a little bloodthirsty for sure and physically violent but it's described so funny in the book that i can't take offence at it. But ig we won't see this because it might not go down well with the TV audience - people will be quick to call out violence to a woman and what not so yh. And then the reference to an animal being down there - yh no! I don't think this will translate well at all!


Chapter 7

They argue ofc after that, he accuses her of deliberately stalking him and he kisses her. I don't think their first kiss in the show will play out like this. So we might not have this scene at all. Besides who could Maria be now that Siena is out of the way? Unless they have another casual fling thrown in for A, but somehow I don't think they will. 

But I so want A to come to this realization : When she wasn't arguing with him, Kte Sheffield might bloody well be the finest woman in England!

But it's kind of an important moment in the book, here's when he calls her 'Kate' for the first time.

And their convo after is as endearing and funny. Kate cannot understand why he kissed her - they did not like each other, and she was still not going to let him marry Edwina or marry him herself!

"I don't recall asking," he says rather hilariously. And tells her he still intends to court Edwina that leaves her both baffled and furious.

She asks him if he loves Edwina and he casually says ofc not, but he might, and she calls him a liar and he feels that deeply like blows. And all through that damnable spark is present between them and it terrifies A.


And she leaves, furious - even more convinced that she would never let him come close to her sister.


She keeps thinking about the kiss, ofc - it does not leave her head.

Then they get invited to Aubrey Hall. And i think all this is included in the series but idk when or how.


Chapter 8


So Violet decides to host a house party at Aubrey Hall and invites all eligible single ladies so A can have his pick πŸ˜†. 


Here again there is potential for an A and Edmund Fb at the start of the chapter, because Aubrey Hall is filled with Edmund's memories. 


K and Violet have a small convo about A and Edmund and K feels the loss mirroring her own father's. She asks Vi if she could explore the flower gardens.


A and Violet joking and A chucking his mother under her chin was something I did not know I needed until now!!!! Gimme this, show!!


A steps out for a walk and Violet deliberately sends him to the flower gardens where Kate is - I really wanna see Mary and Violet team up as Kathony shippers this season!


Of course they meet and talk nicely, and he throws it at her that it's killing her to be nice to him. πŸ˜†

Then he apologizes for his behavior and she thinks it's for the kiss (which he never intended to apologize for!) And he thinks about kissing her again!


Chapter 9


Colin arrives and informs them that Daph and Simon are here and they're setting up the Pall Mall game. This is there in the show, though how exactly it will be played out Idk but there are some key things I'd like to see:

K bantering with A's siblings

K worrying about the time and how long it was taking A to fetch Edwina from the house for the game πŸ˜†

Colin making sure A gets the pink mallet πŸ€£by tossing away the purple one quite diabolically (because he's like the pink even less!) And to think this becomes tradition in the second epilogue (I LOVVVEEEE the second epilogue!)

Simon won't be there but we'll have El and Ben instead so it will be an all sibling thing with Kate and Edwina which might be even more fun!

K picking the mallet of death (which of course she does!)

Daff gets green, and it's she who suggests they leave the pink one for A πŸ˜†

Simon takes orange, Colin gets yellow, and they decide blue for Edwina.


A and Edwina chat about philosophy - she likes it and he finds it boring. And finds out that Kate thinks so too. And now I'm envisioning that little scene we see in the trailer of A and K smiling at each other while riding could well be about this - them bonding over how much they both hate Aristotle and Descartes!


Chapter 10


The entire Pall Mall game is soooo funny in the book! the way the siblings fight and how bloodthirsty it gets and Simon being the casual outsider not getting why everyone is so worked up over a game! i will miss that but can't be helped- RJP isn't going to be there!


A sabotaging K first to make sure she cannot win and then sabotages him! By sending his ball into the water. And then shouts "I win!"

A tells her she doesn't and she tells him quite happily it felt like she had! This is just soooo funny! πŸ€£

And then A goes to retrieve the pink ball, pulls off his boots and wades into the water and K helps him with a blanket to dry himself when he gets out - this would be sweet to see 


Chapter 11


They walk back home together, and she confesses she doesn't like the rain. They laugh together about something trivial and A realizes he really cares what she thinks of him. 

He asks her to answer him honestly and then comes really close to her and whispers, '"Do you still hate me?" sending her all aflutter. Popular theory seems to be that he will say this to her during that shoot, when he's holding her hand over the rifle and probably steadying her aim and I'm on board with that! β˜ΊοΈβ˜ΊοΈ


And then when she's speechless, he just leaves her there and plants a kiss on the inside of her wrist -  in the small stretch of skin between her glove and he hem of her sleeve and I DEMAND TO SEE THIS, SHOW PEOPLE!!! 


Then comes the evening dinner party, K converses with Pen and Pen has already lost 2 stone here (not gonna happen on the show which is fine by me)

And then Cressida Cowper comes in and is a mean bully to Pen commenting cattily on how she shouldn't be here, and that making a nasty comment about her gown. She continues to insult Pen, then calls out to A but he ignores her, and then deliberately takes Pen's arm and escorts her to dinner, giving Cressida the cut direct, saying to Kate, "I do hate a bully, don't you?"

And that's when K realizes he's a hero and that she understands him so well!

I WANT THIS! I BEG FOR THIS! But I also know we're not getting it since Nicola said she does not have any scenes with Jonny. BOO! πŸ˜‘😭

The Viscount who loved me


(Chapters 12 - 22)


Chapter 12


The LIBRARY SCENE! 

K starts out mulling over the events of the evening and worries that she might be coming to care for A because he had been just sooo nice to Pen! Then she cannot sleep and she decides to get a book from the library, and then the thunderstorm hits. She hides under the desk and that's where A finds her and he crouches down there with her and talks to her and... mannnnn!! πŸ˜­β­οΈ

Again I know we're getting some form of this on the show but it's so excruciatingly, heart-wrenchingly beautiful and also it's a pivotal moment in their relationship because K finally realizes he's a good guy. So YEAH I WANT THIS! So so much! And it's not just him talking to her, she asks him about his dad too, and A saying, "He was a great man, a great father, i loved him very much." AND I KNOW I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO HANDLE JONNY SAYING THIS BUT ALSO GIMME IT!

They talk about her father, and her mother and how they died and he tells her it feels like he's lost an arm. And man!! THIS MOMENT! PLEASE PLEASE SHOW Don't take this away in favor of sexy times ( I want that too but these moments are more important and I so missed this in S1, we never got S and D talking - really talking about what he faced and I so hope they change that in S2)


Also, A just being there for K during that freak out episode with the thunder storm and being so heart-stoppingly sensitive and understanding - it makes me think he may have had a moment like this with little Hyacinth or Gregory reassuring them during a fearful episode and now I"ve made myself cry and this is one thing I wanna see on the show which is not in the books - H or G or any younger B sibling telling A that they've never missed their dad because he's always been there for him. I WILL CRY UGLY TEARS BUT ALSO I NEED THIS LIKE OXYGEN!

It's also when he asks her to call him Anthony and she tells him he's nice and OMG THE FEELS THIS SCENE HAS!


Chapter 13


BEEGATE: Again we know this is happening in the show, just the placement of it might be different and it might not quite have the consequences it does in the book with Violet, Mama F and Mary catching them, and ofc them being forced to marry.

I think the show will play this out differently because ep 3 seems to be where Beegate occurs, perhaps Lady W ties into it somehow, she sees them and then outs them at a later time. Idk how I feel about this- I don't want Lady W to be involved in getting every couple together and if they depict this as some kind of a good thing I will scream. 

But I also want the realization: Here's where K realizes she has no reason to object to A and Edwina because he's actually a good man, but then also realizes she wants him for herself. She tells him so and and A also realizes he's on fire for her, not her sister.

They have a little convo about what it means to be the oldest - i relate to this so hard and I want this! PLEASE!

And then Beegate happens. 


Chapter 14


A realizes that there is something called divine intervention and he really wants to marry Kate.

They have a makeout session in the garden (after the women leave) and he tells her she's perfect (GIMME THIS)

But she's left with the nagging doubt that he's thinking of Edwina. 



Chapter 15

 A visits K at her house and decides to set ground rules for their marriage: insisting that friendship and respect was more important than love (because the idiot panics and realizes he could easily fall in love with her which would be a disaster of epic proportions not knowing that it was already too late!)

And then he tells her he cannot love her (THE IDIOT!)

And then he gives her the betrothal ring. The Bridgerton heirloom - now idk how this will play out again but this will be nice to see!

And then he pulls her onto his lap (THIS I WANT TO SEE) to kiss her and Newton lands on her lap and starts licking A and it's chaos! πŸ€£

Hot makeout session # 2 ensues πŸ˜† because Mary, quite conveniently, is away and after A has quite masterfully gotten Newton out of the way with β€˜his tone of voice’ and K thinks he might use that tone of voice in other places too and A does not disagree β˜ΊοΈπŸ˜†


Chapter 16

A and K wedding.

Again, I'm not certain about the sequence of events and how they'll play out on the show, but it seems they might get married by ep 6 which still gives them 2 episodes to resolve their issues. Hopefully they pace it out well.

But I do wanna see Mary having the 'talk' with K and Edwina listening at the door with her milk moustache! And also the convo between the sisters where Edwina says she knew all along A was interested in Kate and not her! 

I know Cvd has said Edwina will be more fleshed out and also that it will not be a conventional triangle because that would be boring and I agree! By all means give Edwina an actual storyline with her Bagwell or Dorset or whoever is supposed to be her love interest. Or even better - send her to university since she’s such an academic. Or team her up with Eloise and her feminist exploits- let them lead the suffrage movement! I’m all for it! Please just not the triangle!! 


And I SO want to see Hyacinth taking her role as flower girl very seriously and Gregory trying to tip her basket of flowers and she walloping him on the chin! I WANT THIS SO MUCH!

Benny is best man and Edwina is maid of honor (but I wonder who gives Kate away since it's not mentioned in the book)

A is bringing her to his bachelor quarters (do we know that he has something like this on the show? I think not. I think their wedding night will be at Aubrey Hall or Bridgerton House)


Chapter 17

Idk how the wedding night will play out - perhaps Kate won't be as nervous because she's older here and they've definitely had some interludes in the show before they're married going by all that Jonny and Simone have talked about the animal primitivism and magnetic attraction between them πŸ˜† but still, I think Kate might be a virgin and I'm not sure how - but I want to see her unsure and nervous and thinking that he's thinking of someone else and that she's not beautiful and I really want THAT PIECE OF DIALOGUE or some form of it. PLEASE PLEASE DON"T ROB ME OF THIS!


I want to see Kate's jaw drop and I want A to look at an unknown presence in the room with an eyeroll and say ,"I can't believe she's arguing with me on our wedding night" right in the middle of doing the deed! πŸ˜†


I want to see him remove her gloves and place the rings back on her fingers.

I want her to say -  Are we done yet, Anthony? πŸ˜†

I want to hear him say - Never has it been so good. 

I don't know (or think) we'll get this at all though.  Because CVD does not believe talking during lovemaking is a good thing πŸ€‘


Chapter 18


(idk if there's a point to this anymore bcos the first reviews are out, but I started it so I'll finish)


 This one has one of the most endearing scenes - Edwina coming to visit and Anthony telling Kate he will provide a dowry for her because she wants to marry Bagwell, a scholar. And Kate tears up and calls A the nicest man in London. He's secretly pleased and if this makes it to screen, I can picture Jonny playing this soo well!

And then him drinking up all the tea in a hurry so that none spills on the carpet when he pulls K onto his lap is just soooo sweet and sexy at the same time! I also love the cute bantering/ teasing between A and Edwina. I don't know if the show is going there at all though.


Chapter 19


They're in bed and the thunderstorms start and A gets to witness K's meltdown - which she doesn't even remember in the morning. They have a conversation about it, he's just so caring here , and he tells her she should ask Mary about it. She's scared to, but he assures her he'll be there with her when she does .

It's also when A realizes he cares too deeply about K.

Mary tells them about the whole thing and A is there holding K's hand and we get to learn about that traumatic, fateful day when it was storming real bad and K was only 3 years old and her mom was dying of influenza and her end was terrible and K sees that and is traumatized. It's a beautiful, heart-wrenching scene and I really want this to make it to the show. At this point, I'm afraid to hope. 

K feels lighter knowing the cause of her terrors, and A cries. I'm a sobbing mess. And here's where K knows she loves him.


Chapter 20


K thinks she'll be fine here on in storms and honestly, this feels too easy in the book. I hope they explore this more in the show, but idek if they're going anywhere with the Kate-is-afraid-of-thunderstorms plot at all! A is jealous that K was able to overcome her fears because he hasn't. And again I think Jonny will play this so well on screen! He's truly a master of subtle expression. JUST GIVE HIM ALL THE MEATY SCENES TO PLAY ALREADY!

 And bamm! He knows! A knows that he's fallen in love with K, and this is what I like about TVWLM. I don't much enjoy romances where one half of the couple is pining for the other half for most of the book. The payoff just doesn't seem right to me, and the person who's been doing the pining almost always feels shortchanged. (Like in Fran and Colin's stories and even Ben's to an extent) But A and K are honestly equal in every way, they even fall in love at the same time, and this is what i really, really love about this book. And it seems like the show is going to show this too - yes there will be pining, but it will be mutual and that will make their coming together sweeter.


And once he realizes, he does the only thing any rational thinking individual would do (I'm quoting Jonny here πŸ˜†)- he runs!

But not before a scorching love scene. And then K utters those words - Always and forever and A knows he's gonna die and this won't happen so he flees. Jonny will murder this! (if it happens)



Chapter 21


He hides out in Bridgerton House (COWARD) and El writes to K telling her he's there. I really want to see this El and K convo when K reaches there, the fact that El stalks A to see what he's doing just sitting at the steps reading a book waiting for him to emerge from his study. It's such an El thing to do (and also it shows how much El cares for A and it warms my heart and I NEED A TO GET ALL THE LOVE FROM HIS SIBLINGS!) And K telling El she should be a spy for the war department πŸ˜† has got me feeling something!

Ofc K meets a and he's HORRIBLE to her. IDIOT, DUMB, STUPID MAN! 

He tells her to leave- and oh god this will be so angsty I won't be able to take it. 


The next day there's some verbal sparring between A and B and C where his bros basically tell him to STFU and go after K. I WANT THIS!

But also, I low-key want A to come to this realization himself. In the book C kinda eggs him to go confess to K, but I want A to want to do it himself without any external goading - if that makes sense?


He gets home, finds she's gone and chases after her on horseback and I think we're getting a different version of this scene with A chasing K in the rain. Anyways A realizes K has been in an accident.


Chapter 22


This chapter of course has all the emotional payoff and even if we don't see it played out exactly as in the book - A when confronted with the fact that K nearly died lets go of his fears, realizing he cannot live without her (It was supposed to be me, it was never supposed to be you) - IS2G I WILL CRY IF HE SAYS THIS!

Her leg is broken and he says I love you, and takes her home and fusses over her like a mother hen, terrorizing the doctors (He summons 3 of them! πŸ€£) and I really want to see A lose his shit because his precious K has been hurt and how dare any fool of a doctor not cure her immediately???


THIS SCENE WILL BE SOOO GOOD! 


They talk, K tells him if he fears he won't outlive his dad they still have 9 years and she tells him to live each day of those 9 years to the fullest and refuse to allow it to rule his life. And A gets it!

And I really want this DIALOGUE: "Love's about finding the one person who makes your heart complete, who  makes you a better person than you ever dreamed you could be. It's about looking in the eyes of your wife and knowing, all the way to your bones, that she's simply the best person you've ever known."

And K crying and telling him she feels the same about him. πŸ˜­πŸ˜­

CAN YOU IMAGINE JONNY AND SIMONE IN THIS??? BECAUSE I CAN AND I'M ALREADY CRYING


Epilogue


I REALLY REALLY WANNA SEE A and K PLAYING TRUMPET AND FLUTE BADLY and little Miles yelling at them to stop but I know we won't get that far ahead on the show.


But if Jonny and Simone are returning for the future seasons, please give us more Kathony content with these two and throw in all the sweet moments that you missed out on from the book, because I, for one, would watch the f**k out of that! I'm so here for Kathony family moments, Kate's pregnancies, A being protective Papa Bear for his sisters and just the shoulder to cry on for his brothers when they find their loves. I WANT THEM BOTH THERE - THEY"RE TOO PRECIOUS TO LOSE! 

And if they aren't Idek if I'm gonna watch Bridgerton anymore- there I said it πŸ€‘
