Daphne comes home.
Subject: Daphne sees Johnny for the first time in 4 years.
Where: At the Wexley family estate. The day before the funeral.
Who: Daphne Wexley
Warnings: none.
Open to: Johnny Wexley - and appearances ( perhaps ) by Daniel Perkins and Katherine Rochester.
It had been a long journey, or atleast it seemed so, to the Wexley family home. Daphne stared out of the window of the carriage the whole way, not once looking around the cabin to its two other occupants. Katherine and Daniel had been so supportive of her, and she loved them dearly for it, of course. But now her mind was on family matters.
Her poor father.. She had broken his heart and didn't even realize it. How could she have been so selfish? It took him 4 years, but it had finally gotten to be enough for him that he just gave up. That has to have been what happened. And Daphne will, forever, feel it was her fault that he died. Now she had to face Mother, who despised her enough as it was. Daphne had stole her father's attention and affection, leaving Mother only there to provide heirs. So her mother resented her for that reason. And then there was Johnny and Ella. Ella, she knew, would accept her return with open arms. But Johnny, well Daphne wasn't sure how he was going to react to seeing her. She hoped it would be well enough, so she wouldn't feel horrible about him too.
When the carriage stopped, Daphne took a rather deep breath and stepped out of the carriage, dressed completely in black - as was appropriate in mourning - and looked up at the house she used to call home. It was a good thing she had taken that breath, because she had just forgotten how to do so. Scared so much to even step forward, she hardly noticed the figure in the doorway.
