“You have made me promises before, and I, like a fool, believed them.”
Siena RossoAnthony BridgertonS1 · E3 · 00:44:07
What it sounds like
Siena says she was foolish to believe Anthony’s earlier promises.
What it really means
“She no longer trusts him and makes clear that his broken promises—not her gullibility—are to blame.”
Said today
“You’ve let me down before, and I’m not falling for your promises again.”
What was happening
Anthony begs Siena to return, but she knows his duties as viscount will keep her hidden from public view. His past promises have not changed that reality, so she refuses to be hurt by believing him again.
