@ruinswandered // closed starter for francesca & anthony
francesca had likely been staring mindlessly into the fireplace for far too long when the footman of the estate announced a visitor. perhaps another person wanting to give their well wishes and prayers, she thought to herself. however, only a few seconds passed before they also announced it was her eldest brother. francesca nodded and gently placed her now empty tea cup on its plate. she wiped under her eye before standing up to wait for her brother to enter.
