Summary
Their eyes met across the small body of water– Eloise's tinged with fear and Cressida’s with confusion.
“What are you doing?” Cressida called out over the sounds of rushing water and heavy winds.
“None of your damn business!” Eloise responded, before promptly losing her fight with her parasol and completely losing her balance as well. She tumbled down the sloped riverbank much to her abject horror.
What exactly happened over the summer that brought Eloise Bridgerton and Cressida Cowper so close together? Well, it all started with an ill timed fall into a small river.

Summary
Every season sees Cressida spending more time on the wall, watching the dancers with an expression calculated to be the right amount of wistful but never jealous. She stands under the lights at the angle best positioned to draw attention to the gleam of her hair and her jewels and her gown, and she speaks to the young women who will make the best contrast to her, and she watches and she tries to learn.
Women adjusting their gloves and looking up at their dance partners with a smile that seems to run through their whole bodies; women sweeping around the ballroom, shivering almost imperceptibly when their hands meet their partners’; women clustering together on the edges of the room, giggling when the right man approaches them. Cressida’s attention gets caught on these smiles like a necklace on fine netting. The other young ladies tilt their heads, expose the long elegant lines of their necks, flutter fans to draw attention to their chests—all tricks Cressida learned early and learned well—and Cressida can’t look away.

Summary
"Sooner or later I am to be married off to some elderly friend of Father's and I shall never know peace or respect or companionship. So don't you dare speak to me as if I have any hope now. My life is over, Eloise!”
Her tears began again in earnest, and Eloise wanted nothing more than to comfort her, but she felt as though her feet were nailed to the floor. What right did she have to console Cressida Cowper?

Summary
Michaela beamed, and it was a funny thing, the way the very essence of a person so bright, so quick, could suddenly slow. Everything was slow.
Or: Francesca seeks refuge from a party at the bench of a pianoforte. Michaela finds her.
