Bridgerton has been all the rage since it premiered on Christmas Day — thank you, Shonda — and I consider myself a loyal member of the BFC (Bridgerton Fan Club).
Now, in case you weren't aware, Season 1 follows Daphne Bridgerton and Simon Basset's enemies-to-fake-dating-to-lovers-to-passionate-enemies-and-then-back-to-lovers storyline*.
Much to everyone's surprise and, ahem, enjoyment, there is a LOT of sex in this show. SPECIFICALLY, the stirring library scene™ has been all anyone can talk about:

Well, dear reader, I am here to direct your attention to ANOTHER scene that deserves our attention: the HAND TOUCH!

When I say I stan...
give me a gentle hand caress between upper class 19th century men and women too stubborn to express their love for one another over a steamy sex scene any day
...I mean I STAN!
So, needless to say, when I saw this scene in Bridgerton I just about fainted:
LIKE!!

HELLO!!!

Upon further inspection, Daphne is seen putting her glove back on. Which means she WANTED TO FEEL THE DUKE'S TOUCH!!

Before you get your corset in a twist, I'm not the only one who! thinks! this!
I’ve never gotten so hot and bothered over a hand touch #Bridgerton
I never imagined that a touch of a hand would make me shiver. #LiveTweet #Bridgerton
what's the most sensual scene in bridgerton and why is it the hand touch ™️
The hottest scene in #Bridgerton isn’t sex it’s when Daphne is talking about his painting and then their hands touch! Makes me as happy as the hand flex from pride & prejudice (2005)
The period drama hand touch™️ #Bridgerton
Period pieces making hand touches and hand holding erotic....bring that back!!!! #Bridgerton
the hanD TOUCH IN EPISODE 3 OF BRIDGERTON
it’s that sex scene without sex and lots of intimacy #Bridgerton
I rest my case:
this is probably one of my favorite scenes from #Bridgerton
