Anthony Reassures Kate
“Just keep looking at me. No one else matters.” – Season 2, Episode 8
Anthony Reveals His Secret to Kate
“‘I fell in love with you, and then I knew. Even if I am right, even if I’m fated to live only as long as my father did before me, I’m not doomed.’ He leaned forward and brushed a feather-light kiss on her lips. ‘I have you,’ he whispered, ‘and I’m not going to waste a single moment we have together.'” – The Viscount Who Loved Me
Anthony Admits What He Wants
“All I find myself thinking about, all I find myself being able to breathe for… is you. Do you think that I want to be in this position? Contending with these thoughts of wanting to be nowhere except with you. Wanting to run away with you. Of acting on the most impure, forbidden desires, no matter… how much I must remind myself I am a gentleman, and you are a lady.” – Season 2, Episode 7
Anthony Learns the Meaning of Love
“Love isn’t about being afraid that it will all be snatched away. Love’s about finding the one person who makes your heart complete, who makes you a better person than you ever dreamed you could be. It’s about looking in the eyes of your wife and knowing, all the way to your bones, that she’s simply the best person you’ve ever known.” – The Viscount Who Loved Me
Anthony Lives for Kate
“‘When I thought you’d died-‘
‘Don’t say it,’ she choked out. ‘You don’t have to relive that.’
‘No,’ he said. ‘I do. I have to tell you. It was the first time-even after all these years of expecting my own death-that I truly knew what it meant to die. Because with you gone…there was nothing left for me to live for.'”
– The Viscount Who Loved Me
Anthony Explains His Frustrations
“I have never met anyone like you. It is maddening, how much you consume my very being.” – Season 2, Episode 7
Anthony Tells Kate the Truth
“‘Listen to me,’ he said, his voice even and intense, ‘and listen well, because I’m only going to say this once. I desire you. I burn for you. I can’t sleep at night for wanting you. Even when I didn’t like you, I lusted for you. It’s the most maddening, beguiling, damnable thing, but there it is. And if I hear one more word of nonsense from your lips, I’m going to have to tie you to the bloody bed and have my way with you a hundred different ways, until you finally get it through your silly skull that you are the most beautiful and desirable woman in England, and if everyone else doesn’t see that, then they’re all bloody fools.'” – The Viscount Who Loved Me
Anthony's Longing Boils Over
“Do you think that there is a corner of this Earth that you could travel to far away enough to free me from this torment? I am a gentleman. My father raised me to act with honour, but that honour is hanging by a thread that grows more precarious with every moment I spend in your presence. You are the bane of my existence, and the object of all my desires. Night and day, I dream of you. And what I… Do you even know all the ways a lady can be seduced?” – Season 2, Episode 5
Anthony's Proposal
“I know I am imperfect, but I will humble myself before you because I cannot imagine my life without you, and that is why I wish to marry you.” – Season 2, Episode 8
Anthony's Love Confession
“I love you. I’ve loved you from the moment we raced each other in that park. I’ve loved you at every dance, on every walk, every time we’ve been together, and every time we’ve been apart. You do not have to accept it or embrace it or even allow it. Knowing you, you probably will not. But you must know it, in your heart. You must feel it, because I do. I love you.” – Season 2, Episode 8
