Subject: A visit.
Where: Dr Daniel Perkins home/surgery.
Who: Daphne Lovering
Warnings: none at the moment.
Open to: Daniel Perkins.

Daphne was let out of the public carriage she had bought a ticket to ride. Looking at the long path as the carriage rode away, she listened to the fading sound of the horses hooves as she walked up the drive towards the home of her close friend Dr. Daniel Perkins. The bottom of her dress already filthy around the hem from the mud she had to step through along the way, but it didn't matter. Daniel wouldn't care what she looked like, he would probably like it more is she was completely disheveled and he could take care of her. Thinking on that, Daphne smiled under her bonnet.

After a healthy sum of minutes of walking, finally the residence of Dr. Perkins was in sight. Of course, the entire time she made her way, she made sure she wasn't being watched or followed. That was the only bad thing about seeing her friend. He treated everyone. Of course, most of the people that Daphne interacted with wouldn't recognize her out of her disguises, so it wasn't that big of a deal. But still, she wasn't going to take any chances.

Finally reaching the steps, she lifted her dress slightly so she wouldn't trip as she made her way up them and stopped at the door. Straightening herself as much as she could, she knocked lightly on the door.

Daniel's mouth parted and he looked at her in both surprise and sadness. With a blink he closed it again, a pained expression on his face. "I am so sorry..." He had dealt with women who had lost their lovers and husbands all his life; he saw the pain they went through, the anguish. He could not imagine Daphne to be in such pain.

But how could he ever match up to someone brave and devoted as the man she had once loved? "I do not know what to say."

	"You don't have to say anything," she said, her voice strong, trying to prove to him and as much to herself that she had moved on from it. Looking at him, she leaned over and kissed his lips quickly and softly. Scooting down just slightly and snuggling into his body, she laid her head on his chest and closed her eyes.

Daniel thought he felt more of her emotion in that moment than she did, but as she kissed him his heart skipped a beat and it was all over too quickly. The fleeting sign of affection was enough to bring up his spirits and though he was confused he settled down, wrapping his arms around her as he leant them into the pillows.

"Sweet dreams," he said simply, hoping she would be able to rest.

	She was in no way tired, but she wasn't going to ruin a good nights sleep for him by being completely selfish. So she simply took a deep breath, taking in his scent and exhaling slowly as she calmed. "Sweet dreams, Daniel," she said all throaty like. In order to keep from tearing up, thinking about Robert, she simply told herself to go to sleep. (Reply to this) (Parent)
