THERE WAS SOMETHING PARTICULARLY boring about ministry events. nothing but polite small talk with people she did not care about, pouring in some money to whatever harold’s cause du jour was for that particular event ( which, as his assistant, she frequently provided suggestions for ), but mostly just a lot of smiling on her part. she had to at least pretend to take her job seriously, even when her cheeks hurt after.

STILL, THE ALCOHOL FLOWED RICHLY and that was something she could appreciate. about two glasses of champagne in, alecto noticed a commotion near the bar, her eyebrows raised in interest. some woman catching her husband cheating — now that she enjoyed. “i swear, that was the first interesting thing to happen all night,” she mused out loud, not particularly caring who she was talking to. “care to wager on how long it will take for the wife to slap him in the face?”

[Her] beauty is a trap. A trap, a trap, a trap. Lots of people (men, mostly) find her madness quite charming because she is so beautiful.
