Re: Rose and Audrey
Audrey was doing better. She was even able to go to Dorinta and see people, but all of these parties were grating. Family, and especially this family, was loud and too friendly. Too many people would hug and kiss you, and while with the years she had kept a certain distance, people now seemed to think that it was okay to greet her with a hug to make up for Azkaban.
In the midst of this chaos, she retreated in the room with the least amount of people, far away from the pool house. However someone pass a little too close and she stepped back and inadvertently touched Rose.
"Hello, darling," she said, breathing a little easier. Rose was one of the quiet ones. She didn't have to leave. "I'm doing all right, and you?"
