THE FUNERAL
Subject: Lord John Wexley IV's memorial.
Where: The Wexley family home.
Who: Daphne Wexley
Warnings: N/A
Open to: everyone who would have attended the funeral.

"...Lord John Oliver Wexley IV was buried today, but his spirit will live on in the rest of us... Amen.." finished the priest as he crossed the grave and then there was silence for a few moments. The first noise came from Lady Wexley, letting out a bellow of sobs that was obviously for show but no one would dare confront her about it. Daphne stood in between her brother, Johnny, and Daniel Perkins, trying her best to hold in any emotions that were fighting their way to the surface. Tears streamed down her face, but she made no noise, simply stared straight ahead and made eye contact with no one.

The party moved to the Wexley's family home where the guests were able to meet, discuss, and remember the passing of a very important man. Refreshments had been set up next to a rather large painting of John Wexley IV. Plenty of chairs and sofa's and places for people to sit and converse. Though, the object of the after party was to uplift the deceased and speak about him, but like any other party, everyone had their own objectives as to being there.

Daphne stood at the picture of her father, holding the glass of wine that Daniel had given her, not moving. She didn't to move, show emotion, talk, eat or drink. Knowing, though, that her mother was pretending to be completely beside herself, it was up to Daphne to be the hostess. Thank God for Johnny, though. He took up most of the duties himself.

	Amandine was almost ready to burst into tears. Lysander had just opened up a large can of worms, so to speak, and she did not know whether she could handle it. "Im sorry," she whispered, wiping her eyes before taking his arm. Why the hell was she staying true to her husband who was treating her so badly? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Lysander went back inside with Amandine on his arm but he hardly spoke another word. No longer was he the joyful man who spoke so spiritfully of the deceased, but now was just as the rest of the mourners. It was a mixture of things. For one, he had never been turned down by a woman before - married or not. But it wasn't just that. That it was Amandine really stung and he had to clench his jaw to keep from showing that emotion.

He didn't touch any of the food that was presented to him, only drank whatever was offered to him. He'd forget about it.
