Chi was supposed to be back from Hong Kong two nights ago, but work had held him over and Ying Li had been puttering around the house and feeling melancholy. It would be at least another two days, he said, and she knew she needed to get our of her funk before then. Chi was a good man who took her at her worst and did his best to support her emotional needs, but she liked to present her best to him at all times.
And so she had decided to do something to cheer herself up. She'd headed into London and through The Leaky Cauldron to the bustling, cold crowds of Diagon Alley, window shopping for a new pair of earrings. She didn't know exactly what she wanted, but she knew she would see them and just know. Ying Li had been raised in the upper middle class, but with Chi and her own success, she never wanted for anything. She had fallen into the - albeit secret - role of wealthy spouse (even if they aren't married) and perfect 'housewife' easily, despite it being a level of status she had never really had any exposure to. As she had grown in her art and fame and her role in Chi's life, she had become a little more quiet, though kind, and had an air about her - even wandering through the masses in the busy Alley - of serenity and being above the chaos of the world. Stopping outside of a lovely little shop, she perused the window display, bending closer and smiling to herself at books, sweaters, and the cutest little home decor scattered about artfully.
