“I think it’s more than that. I’ve seen inside his head, his thoughts. There’s no silence, it can’t be much better being married to him . .”

People’s minds are so loud, and she’s on her tenth headache of the day . .

At least Orion Black isn’t her brother in law.

That family is rotten. Except for her husband.

At least his headache will go away . .

It’s everyone walking out on the street, their thoughts are so loud. She can’t turn it off . .

Any bit of silence would be welcome, she can’t sleep with everyone’s thoughts screaming in her head.

She’s just finished running a hot bubble bath, and there’s a silencing charm on the bathroom as she’s slipping into the tub.

That’s what would make it perfect, some company and some wine . .

“It’s silent now, so just tired.” She nodded, glancing up with a small smile. She knew she couldn’t keep living like this, with the constant headaches and bandaid fixes of silencing charms. “How was work?”

Shifting to make room for him, but she frowned when he mentioned his father. “What did he want? Can’t have been anything good when all you’ve said of him is that he’s like your brother.”

She never thought she’d fall in love with someone so much older . .

She’d never want anyone else. The boys her age are childish and stupid. And they don’t understand her extra abilities . .

Her headache is back, and it’s worse than ever . . Licorus Black. | 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐲.

She’s just tired and in a lot of pain, could he cast a silencing charm around the outside of the house? If he does that, she’s going to start looking at homes where there’s nobody around for miles, when her headache is gone . .

She needs him . . Licorus Black. | 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐲.

He’s been gone for so long . .

Too busy for her?

She’s sat beneath their kitchen table, in an attempt to silence her pounding headache. Licorus Black. | 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐲.
