A Reunion
Subject: A reunion
Where: Lucrète's apartment
Who: Lucrète Vernet
Warnings: None
Open to: Evonne
Lucrète sat by the window of her apartment, resting her arm on the windowsill and watching the comings and goings of the street. Her fingers drummed insistently on the wood. In her other hand she listlessly held a copy of Le Moniteur Universel, her choice Parisian newspaper, to which she had retained a subscription. Of course, it was a lot more difficult getting news over now between the two hostile countries, but she did her best.
This afternoon, however, she was waiting for a guest. Her friend Yves Régnier had recently come over from Paris. She had been overjoyed to receive his letter telling her of his arrival. Truth be told, she had not made the greatest effort to go out and embrace the English and God forbid she speak to any of the French people here- they were all traitors and émigrés. Lucrète was beginning to find herself very lonely, with only Jacques for company, but he of course had work to do…
She straightened up eagerly as she saw someone duck inside the building several floors below. Of course, this had happened several times already, but perhaps this time it was him.
