this is ridiculous.

why should she care about letting him organise a dinner for them?

she hasn't fought all these years for rasmus to stop it now.

it matters to her if it matters to rasmus.

she might pray that djel delivers her husband some sense.

( perhaps djel will forgive her for throttling him in the night. )

( she might have had some peace, it would have been nice. )

she. silent, fawn-eyed. clever.

one year closer to no longer having a husband.

she's sure he's capable of figuring it out for himself by now.

she won't pretend to be happy just for the sake of his peace of mind.

it's nothing. only her father being his usual self.

he means that i am right.

oh no

there must be a fly buzzing around. how annoying.

she'll pray for him

it's a distant memory. maybe she was delusional.

how convenient to be able to blame a wandering eye on rasmus.

and yet it's the one thing she'd rather he blamed on rasmus.
