Re: Lilith and Cassandra
Lilith straightened from the heavenly rose and smiled, and found herself relaxing a bit. My invitation... She'd met so many women, and their names had run together horribly, but this would be their hostess, Cassandra Urquhart.
"It's good of you to have us," she said carefully, and her mind raced with the coaching she'd been getting lately about her station and propriety and how one must behave. Still, inside she felt like a little girl at her first party, and she only hoped it didn't show.
"And I am, very much so. It's the perfect day, and your gardens are so beautiful." She ran a fingertip over the petals of an enormous rose, lost a bit for small talk. What did women talk about at these things?
