Have you caught Bridgerton Season 4? Parts 1 and 2? Have you watched scenes multiple times like I have?

Obsessed, I am. Bawling big time.

I am a sucker for historical romance on screen and in print. But I didn’t think I would cry so much.

Two people feeling unseen. Finding each other, improbably, with society and social norms getting in the way.

Oh the leads are gorgeous by the way. It’s also nice to see representation of an interracial couple, fantasy as it were, back at that time. The power imbalance true to the day with their places in society, but not from a point of view of race. The writing and the performances illustrated that they were equals in the relationship.

I hope in the sequels there will be little Benophies. Wasians are certainly currently having a moment . Happy to have contributed to that movement.

This scene, for me, it’s up there with the Pride and Prejudice love confession.
