    Summary

    And yes, cheating on your husband maybe isn't what a therapist would reccomend after the loss of a baby and the loss of a parent. But, Penelope thinks, leaving your mourning wife who had to birth a baby that would never breath, or smile, probably isn't either, and Alfred did that anyway.
    So, she can’t really feel that bad about her actions.

    Summary

    He glanced towards the window. Bright sunlight, a rare phenomenon in this generally gloomy part of the world, peeked through the curtains. It was daylight.

    He had lost track of time a long time ago.

    Around him, in this room, where everything reminded him of her, he could see their life. The sheets that he had not washed for weeks for fear of losing her scent, the inkwell in which she dipped her pen when she wrote the words that made him shiver, the bathtub that made the corners of his lips rise for a few fractions of a second, the time it took for a happy memory to flutter through his mind, a few sheets of paper on the floor when, in a storm of anger, he had destroyed everything that had touched his hands.

    Summary

    Their bedchamber is bathed in a soft, glowing warmth from the fading sunlight outside and the lit fireplace, painting the walls a glimmering orange. Penelope - beautiful, wonderful Penelope, his bride, his wife - is stood in the center, in front of the mirror that the servants must have brought in, hands twisted behind herself to reach for her dress, hair tucked over one shoulder and face streaked with tears. She meets his gaze through the mirror, finds him where he’s frozen in place. Her veil has been discarded on their bed.

    “I cannot unlace myself,” she croaks, and Colin is sure that his traitorous little heart has broken free of his ribcage entirely and is now dragging itself, bedraggled and bruised as it is, across the carpeted floor to try and get to her.

    (or, their wedding night.)
