Theo Sharpe: You've come quite a long way to ask me something, so go on.
Eloise Bridgerton: I have thoughts...
Theo Sharpe: I can see how that might pose a problem for someone in your world.
Eloise Bridgerton: Thoughts I would like to share... with you.
Theo Sharpe: And are you not sharing them now?
Eloise Bridgerton: What I am failing to say is that often, when I read something new or interesting or provoking, it is you who crosses my mind. It is you I would like to speak with about those thoughts.
Theo Sharpe: I see.
Eloise Bridgerton: Uh... And so I am wondering if you might also have thoughts of me when you think.
Theo Sharpe: I have read all of these. (hands her a small pile of books)
Eloise Bridgerton: And?
Theo Sharpe: And... I set them aside for you. I thought perhaps you might share your thoughts on them.
