Status Updates From Spinster Sister (Lawless La...

He’s all in, and officially courting 🥰

He has realized his feelings…but is still officially courting her sister 🥴

Tell me something,” he said. “If you ever faced the threat of losing your home and seeing your mother and sisters starve, and there was no work or no money for you to invest, none of it. What would you do to care for them? Would you steal or kill or cheat?”
Derek pursed his lips and gave Sebastian a sly look. “What makes you think I haven’t done those things?"

we stan derek! kick some sense into seb pleaseee

Sebastian! What on earth?”
“I haven’t kissed you in three days,” he grumbled as they rounded one of the tall hedges, which stood just high enough to conceal them from sight. “I’m dying.”
“You’ve been counting?” she blurted with a full-throated laugh.
“Yes,” he replied, spinning to face her. "Every hour. Every minute. You don’t have to tell me how pitful I am, for I'm well aware."

my boi is far gone..it's adorable!

But I need you to understand that I see you. I see you, and I want you, and if you give me a chance, I’ll prove you have no reason to be afraid.


DEAD.
I AM DEAD.

“The way I see it,we can either pretend it never happened and go on with a cordial friendship.This first option seems the easiest and most efficient, though it isn’t my favorite.”
“Of course,” she said, sarcasm edging her voice. “You would prefer the more difficult path, you obstinate boor.”
“Quiet, you churlish shrew. I haven’t finished. What you call the more difficult path,I see as the most rewarding."

love them!

I’ve been told that my mouth presents a bit of a problem. I am too free and uninhibited with my opinions and often speak without thinking.”
Stratford’s expression softened, his lips quirking in a hint of a smile. “The only problem with your mouth is that I’ve become captivated with it beyond good discretion. It is a wonder. You are a wonder.

*im melting from this sweetness omg* 🥺

Thank you for inviting us, my lord.”
That infernal eyebrow of his lifted.“I thought I asked you to call me Stratford.”
“And I thought I had made it clear that despite that…thing you do with your eyebrow. You look downright villainous when you do it. No, actually, you look very much the rake.”
“Was that supposed to be an insult?” he teased.“I was led to believe that rakes are all the rage amongst society ladies.

That is a highly personal question, Stratford.”
Sebastian grinned. “It is, but I have decided that we are friends.”
“You have decided?”
“Yes,” he insisted. “After all, we have already had our first row and traded insults. In this situation, between men, we would be considered friends.”
“But I am not a man.”

no, you are not my lady 👀💜

“You told me that you knew one other person who felt the same way,” Stratford replied with a shake of his head. “I would never have guessed that person would turn out to be your sister.”
"And why is that?”
“Well, you’re a woman,” he shrugged as if that were explanation enough.
Helena rolled her eyes. “Of course. And as a woman, I am expected to swoon at the dramatic ramblings of flowery speech?"

big kathony vibes!!

Taking a pause or won’t finish.
The blurb was intriguing but the shy demure spinster who snaps at an Earl who shows interest in her sister when it is the aim of their scheme, can’t stand that kind of snarky character.
