Daphne was quiet for the longest time, she didn't want to be here and she regretted it as each second ticked by. Green stare studied Blaise, the way he got comfortable in the seat made her envious. Why was she so stupid to come here? They should have met on more neutral ground. Remaining on the edge of her seat, her back was perfectly straight, like her back was stuck to a piece of plywood. Ankles were crossed demurely, and tucked just slightly under her seat. Hands rested on her lap, and a complete blank look washed upon her. There was no emotion in her stare, it was cold and distant as she put up that wall to keep Blaise out. It was a wall that Blaise was most likely not familiar with personally. Sure, Daphne tossed that wall up against other people, but Blaise was the one male in her life who didn't have to suffer through her icy shoulder like the others.
As he began to turn the conversation towards the real reason why she was here, Daphne put up a hand to stop him, "Don't give me that load of bollocks, Blaise." There was definite venom in her voice as she cut him off. "If you didn't mean it, you wouldn't have written it in the first place. Whether it was intentional or not, it was the truth. I do burden you, and mother was right to arrange a marriage for me." Swallowing heavily, Daphne rose from her seat and moved towards the window. A bout of anxiety washed over her as her heels echoed against the floor, filled the void of silence with slow pacing steps.
One arm crossed over her abdomen as her hand lifted to run over a gleaming diamond encrusted necklace to match the large ring on her left ring finger. Both pieces of jewelry caught the afternoon sun as it began to filter into the room. Keeping her back to Blaise, she sighed heavily and shook her head, green eyes watching the world outside. "We both knew this day would come..." She said quietly - more to herself than to Blaise. Toying with the necklace between her fingers, she felt silent once more.
Daphne was getting more confused as she stood there. Nothing was making sense and Daphne hated this feeling of confusion. She thought the moment she married Nikolas everything would become a lot simpler. An arranged marriage was supposed to bring peace and order, wasn't it? However not one day since she's been married has she felt peace and order. All she felt was more chaos. Marrying Nikolas wasn't easy on anyone, Daphne didn't know the first thing about being a wife, Merlin, she didn't know the first thing about being a girlfriend. She was thrust into this situation blindly and with feelings for another man. Daphne wasn't willing to become intimate with Nikolas and they had a silent agreement that they would see other people.
Daphne - like always - turned to Blaise, her best friend in the whole entire world. In a way, Daphne viewed her relationship with Blaise a lot like how it was back in Hogwarts. Fours years of being married, Daphne never would have predicted to actually enjoy married life. It was exactly what she wanted, a quiet life in the country without having to worry about school work or a job for that matter - the only thing missing was the husband that she dreamed of. Not that Nikolas was a bad person to be married to, he just wasn't who Daphne dreamed of marrying. Daphne never predicted that she would actually start to develop feelings for her husband - a man whom she had no interest in before marriage. Daphne didn't know this was going to happen, but she knew what Blaise's reaction was going to be. She knew that he wasn't going to take her situation with Nikolas lightly, and she knew this day was coming.
