Re: Andromeda and Tonks
That surprised Tonks at the comment about the marriage of convenience. A hint of heartbreak crossed her pale, heartshaped face, that her mother would go through that at all. "Convenience? But, mum...What about... Love? I know you don't remember, really, but you loved dad. -Loved- him." Her voice ached as she admitted that, making her look somehow younger than Andromeda even if it was just for a moment.
Then the comment about the house came and Tonks just smiled weakly. She shook her head, sending pink everywhere for a few moments. "You never have to ask me. It's your house. -Our- house. You come home as soon as you need. Please... Stay tonight, even. Owl your damn husband and tell him it's over and stay -home-." She reached over, grabbing her mothers small hand, giving it a tight, insistent squeeze.
