Re: Marlene/Emmeline
"The guest list includes the important people in society," she remarked. "Names and people are irrelevant, Emm, not in this circles. These parties aren't about friendship, but connections. They needed those people's support before, and now they need these people." She chuckle. "I had plenty of people who called me names and then invited me because it was the right thing, or tried to be friends. It's just what you do in these circles."
Marlene shrugged. "There isn't much to say. He came home, we fought, I left the house, and we haven't spoken since. Sooner or later something will happen and we will have to speak again. Until then, I can do what I want and he can do what he wants."
