    Summary

    For some reason, Eloise appears oblivious to the fact that she is indeed popular amongst the ladies of the ton. She always seems as if she is thinking a hundred different things at once, and then suddenly she’ll do something sweet, like drop by her house in a blue dress that makes her look like she’s fallen from the sky and call upon her to ask if she’s all right.

    Once, in the early days of their friendship, when they were still in the countryside, Cressida caught a slight cold and was barred from going outdoors for a few days. A servant slipped a note and box into her room. The box was a box of her favorite chocolates, mentioned offhand amongst a million other little things Cressida was probably rambling about, and the note said, Get well soon. Else I will not need to fake a sickness of my own to join your side. Yours, Eloise.

    Sometimes, when she is feeling low, when her father is being particularly hard on her, when the house seems too big, too empty, too much, she picks up the note, which she’s kept, creased from the amount of times she’s folded it and looked at it, and thinks of that address. Yours.

    Summary

    "Eloise did not dream of white knights on trusty steeds or gallant princes from faraway lands come to whisk her off to a castle that might as well be a jail cell. Once she might have dreamt of a handsome printer’s assistant in a grubby print shop. Once she might have dreamt of the smell of rose water on skin and the sound of a tinkling laugh that delighted in everything she said. Now she dreamed only of freedom."

    In which Eloise is an unsatisfied spinster and travels to Wales to meet a friend.

    Summary

    Once the order is in and the stack of eight coffees is secured in the cart she had brought just for the occasion (she learned long ago to not trust herself with carrying that much liquid with her bare hands), Eloise grabs the two remaining coffees - one for herself and one for her demonic boss (she can only imagine his horror if his coffee dared to touch anybody else’s) - before turning.

    Right.

    Into.

    Another.

    Person.

    Or--

    Literature Professor Eloise Bridgerton meets model Cressida Cowper and sparks (and coffee) fly.
