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.

With a concerned expression Daniel nodded, holding her close. "Yes, obligations are always so tiring. Bed I think would be the best thing for you i'm sure people would understand, you can't be expected to constnatly walk around showing your emotions..." But then she suddenly said something that almost knocked him off his feet. "W... an embrace? Katherine and Eward?"

"Shhhhh!!" she put a finger to his lips. "Don't say it so loud!" She looked around to make sure no one was looking at them and strained to hear if there were any mentions of the two in question. Daphne pulled him out of the room and into a hallway that was unoccupied, making sure first that Johnny had the room under control.

"Yes.. them.. I had suspected.. but it was still odd to see," she sighed softly. "I'm not sure how to feel about it.." she shook her head and held Daniel's hands in hers, looking up at him and smiled as best she could.

	She was not sure how to feel about it? What was Daniel supposed to think? Trying to regain some sense of thought and composure he cleared his throat and shrugged his shoulders. "I - er - I had no idea, and I think Katherine is a fool," he said in summary. There was hardly anything else he could say. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Yes but.. we are all fools in love, Daniel," she said softly, bringing his hands to her lips and kissed his knuckles lightly. "Thank you for being here for me.. I know I have been exceptionally difficult over the past few days and I appreciate you having tolerated me." (Reply to this) (Parent)
