Colin Bridgerton: As you consider suitable matches for Francesca, what do you hope she finds?

Violet Bridgerton: I... wish for Francesca the same thing I wanted for myself, for Anthony, for Daphne. Passion, excitement, a love that is thrilling.

Colin Bridgerton: But I thought you believed the best foundation for great love was friendship.

Violet Bridgerton: Indeed, I do. It is how your father and I began. But it is rare to begin as friends and for both parties to then feel more.

Colin Bridgerton: Mm. And how did you and Father know it was reciprocated?

Violet Bridgerton: Because he gathered the courage to ask.

(Colin looks Pen's way, Violet notices...)

Colin Bridgerton: Uh... Well... I hope if Francesca finds it, she is brave enough to ask the question.

Violet Bridgerton: I hope she is as well.
