𝐀𝐧𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐧𝐲 𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐠𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐨𝐧 𝐱 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫 ( 𝐀𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐞 )

𝐖𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 : in this first chapter none

𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐝 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭: 1744

𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐥𝐚𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐫: I hope you enjoy this first chapter, this book does not exactly follow the events of the series, there are new characters. if the writing is not beautiful, excuse me but English is not my first language;) I blame leaves translator for any mistakes

When you are the youngest of one of the most influential and wealthy families in London it is definitely not as beautiful and fun as you might think or rather, if you like drama, romantic problems, affairs and so on I am sure you would like maybe but in a family made up of my father Count Stephan Gardiminton a middle-aged man with a new passion every 2 months that becomes an obsession, the last? Dogs but not a normal dog like the queen's, border collies, and our maddy is literally driving all our maids crazy.

My mother Dorothy Gardminton countess, also a middle-aged woman with red hair and who literally loves to style any type of hair be it hers, mine, my brothers or anyone else who asks her for advice on a color or a hairstyle .

My older brother Richard, a lover of worldly pleasures and one of Anthony Bridgerton's best friends, a really good duo, knows how to be very serious when he wants to be stiff at times but when he lets himself go believe me you would like to have him as a brother.

My sister Daisy, we never really get along very well, two characters too different, she is very serious and composed in short I don't stick to this description very much, she hasn't married yet says it's her choice, but the truth is that she rejects all those who try to propose good or bad and then complains because she is alone.

My brother Edward, he is definitely my favorite, he taught me to ride a horse, to shoot and he always goes to buy my favorite chocolates even if Daisy hates them, she is so tough, fighting in the box, smoking and refusing all the his suitors but in the end he is the loveliest of my brothers.

And then in the end, and I would like to say that it always ends with a flourish there is me, with my 18 years and my debut in society ... not that I really need it Anthony has a crush on me for more or less always and of course I don't mind this at all, my mother already thinks I'll marry him but you always have to leave all doors open.

"Alice?" I wake up from my thoughts observing Richard's green eyes "yes?" He snorts and I smile guilty "you didn't listen to me did you?" I shake my head and he repeats what he had just told me "you'll have to go to prom tomorrow night and dad thinks I have to accompany you" I look at my brother's tired face "I don't really care who's accompanying me as long as someone does it .. ..eh uhm Anthony will come? " I ask not looking into his eyes, green eyes that rise to the sky "sure that Lady Daphne will be there too" I smile inside me "plus you and Daphne are the only ones who have gone well with the queen so I expect a lot from you two diamonds in a season it's something quite bizarre "puff" and when you stop going to your mistress and start looking for a wife, you won't want to be a bachelor libertine until you're 30 dear brother "he frowns at me and I walk away from there in the park with a wicked grin on his face.

As I turn my face to see if Richard was ranting at our parents about my insolent behavior or following me I bump into someone and almost fall to the ground "oh sorry I'm desolate" in panic I notice two pitch eyes watching me "my fault" a tall guy with amber skin a light beard and short dark curly hair looks at me with a half-hidden smile "miss looks a lot like-" "Basset!" The hands of the handsome gentleman immediately move from me to embrace the one who is clearly my brother Richard "Richard my friend how long have I not seen you" the two shake hands with a smile on their lips, while I look confused. scene better to say I look at the handsome guy in front of me who saved me from a ruinous fall, focusing on his clearly toned body even under the many clothes "I was just saying to this Lady who looks like you without equal" the same brings back the attention on me, catching myself even to observe him "I would say that it is possible since she is my sister, Alice this is the Duke of Hastings, Simon Basset not one of my dearest friends" I bow slightly and then be immediately stopped by the man "please not all these formalities, Lady Alice grateful to have made her acquaintance" the duke continues on his way giving me a last and beautiful smile, leaving me alone again with Richard "is he married?" I ask as he continues to look in the direction of the Duke "no and he always said he didn't want marriage and children ... so my dear is pointing to something else".

My family that same evening was invited to the Bridgertons' house as is often the case, our families are very close, my father, the Earl, was very good friends with Viscount Bridgerton and my mother and Violet have now become like sisters from the long time gone by. together, so it happens very often that there are lunches or dinners that engage both families, and now they are with Eloise and Benedict smoking a cigarette on their comfortable swings hidden from prying eyes "I made this sketch the other day take a look" Benedict grabs it and looks at it with his eyes bulging "well it's really wonderful if it was printed on canvas it would be even better" I re-observe my sketch depicting a picnic by the lake and turn up my nose "I don't know I am not convinced yet" I put it away and Benedict snorts "you are a talent ... not to mention when you sing Alice if I swear an angel" Eloise takes the word "a woman as talented as you in art, music and writing who should only aspire to a marriage, it does not seem unfair to you "I take a long drag on the cigarette" but I do not aim only at marriage ... all my hobbies and talents will be cultivated that I die before that does not happen, I will not be alone an oven churns out babies "Eloise seems to admire my words" and rightly so "Anthony's voice makes me frightened that I almost fall off the swing" if you leave us alone I promise not to spy on our mother Eloise "the girl gets up in a hurry and Benedict does the same, patting his brother on the back before walking away.

"Will you really keep the secret?" I ask giggling he makes the same smile holding out a hand to get me up "it depends how much lady bridgerton will make me angry these days" I smile looking at the sweetness in her brown eyes "you wouldn't really do it" I insinuate walking with him in the back of the garden letting him no one sees us smoking, me and Anthony have been smoking and walking together in secret for 2 years now no one has ever found us and this fortuitous combination must continue "how's it going with Daphne? You told me you're really considering that slobbering Nigel Barbrock "he seems to weigh his steps" and told you to convince me to deny my promise "I nod silently" Anthony you know it's not really a good choice she's too many years older than her and for heaven's sake a title doesn't make a man " he looks forward to himself serious "I think it will be just fine" I point my feet and he just takes a couple of steps before turning to me "good God Anthony never say again foolishness of such magnitude ... that man is a slobbering bachelor who loves little girls ... get out of your head to make him marry your sister "he crosses his arms to his chest" and who prevents me, you? " He asks haughtily "of course I will stop you, since your common sense has run away apparently" almost a smile escapes him "and what do you do if I say no?" Oscar, when he stops being sarcastic "because otherwise I will never agree to dance with you or even less to continue our outings in secret" he is shocked to understand that there is someone smarter than him "you are as beautiful as shrewd and detestable, all the more to use my poor and innocent feelings against me ... "I laugh at his words and throw my cigarette looking at him defeated by his own game that has taught me so well in recent years" you hit a sore spot ... I know that I have led astray my dear lady "I shrug my shoulders" on the other hand you have involuntarily told me that you would have answered yes for a dance and that our outings please you "I giggle with my cheeks a little red" I have not said it underneath, but in case I will take it for sure you in consideration after 3 years of courtship seems to me the minimum for so much perseverance and commitment "he smiles at me and God thank that smile so beautiful" tomorrow I will debut and I really hope dear viscount who will ask me for the first dance ... so I suggest you think carefully about my words "he approaches me placing his hands on my waist" if you had any doubts Lady Alice I suspect you do not know me well yet, I would never admit I was wrong but losing your hand is definitely a worse event. .. remembers that I never lose "his lips gently lean on my cheek making me blush unmatched at his gestures and whispered words in my ear, but my brother Edward's voice brings me back too soon to reality" Alice we have to go " I thank my brother's distance and the tree behind which we are so that it makes it impossible for him to see me and Anthony spinning quickly away after a kiss on the back of my hand "but where and you are finished "I come out of the shadow of the tree" here brother I will arrive immediately ".

hey so i'm a 14 year-old girl who's currently on their first day of recovery and i think i ate well and healthy today (kind of got anxious but then i calmed down). but i have a few questions about recovery: do you have to exercise when recovering? because i've been so cramped with homework and projects these past few weeks and won't be free until spring break. also, is it necessary to count calories or can i just go with intuitive eating? one last thing, can you give some recovery tips? thanks!!

Hey congratulations on starting recovery! I am so proud of you, you’ve made the right choice!!

1. No you totally do not need to do any exercise during recovery! In fact for a lot of people it is pretty unsafe to do so. At the very beginning of recovery, everyone’s body will need a LOT of rest in order to heal and you might feel more tired than before. Some people will be at medical risk if they exercise at the start of recovery. But most of all exercising during recovery can be a significant risk psychologically if over-exercise or exercise purging has been an issue for you previously, or it may become an issue as it is quite common for people to pick up other behaviours to compensate for the change in eating. When you’ve been eating well for around 3 months i think it’s probably safe to do a bit more exercise (check with your treatment team first of course) but if you do, make sure you do something that you genuinely enjoy, that is preferably non-competitive (ie no pressure to not suck at it), social and outdoors (think team sport, social hikes, horse riding, dancing etc) I would strongly discourage going to the gym, there is too much opportunity for obsession there, and focus on aesthetics.

No 2. I wouldn’t count calories but I also wouldn’t go with intuitive eating just yet. Your ED will most likely still be dictating your choices if you tried to just eat what you feel like at this point. The best idea is to go with a meal plan that the cals are pre counted for you, and it would just tell you what sort of food would be adequate for each meal. Here’s a good resource:

No3. my biggest tip would be when you are struggling, learn to rest, not quit. Take things one day at a time. Don’t let yourself get anxious about the future, or how big the whole task is, just do the small thing you need to do right now in this moment, whether it be eating breakfast or getting yourself to bed.

(part 2) hey, so i’m currently on my first week of recovery and so far it’s been good (my parents have been supportive of me and helped me by hiding the scale and measurement tapes) but lately my body feels like it’s bruised or swollen-ish (like my stomach or my back) and it kinda hurts when i touch it. is this normal? if so, can you explain why it happens?

Hmm i couldn’t be sure bc i’m no doctor BUT aches and pains are quite common in recovery, and also especially bloating. If it’s really worrying you i’d go to the doctor xx
