I just feel bad because the author probably didn't want to make it an assault, but it is.
Literally, Rippley is in this situation because of a night she doesn't remember anything. I know the part of she drunkly admitting what she thinks of the duke and all, but they sleep together... It shouldn't be done, we are not in the time about drunk night sex. It took me a while to understand why it's wrong, it shouldn't be used anymore...
Until before the sex it was cute, now it's very yikes.
