It had taken her more time than she would've hoped for, but truth was she'd been busy dealing with the aftermath of the younger witch's decision, hurt herself by how rushed and impersonal it had all been. In spite of it all, Agatha would not let things go that easily, striking her off from the family tree and pretending she never existed. She couldn't do that, mainly because she cared for Alara like a sister, but also because she deserved more than simply a short letter. Coming through the front door, the bell ringing to announce her presence, the brunette awaited in the spot until the owner showed up. Her arms firmly crossed over her chest, she did her best to keep her composure and not get emotional. "I'm here because I care and to give you the chance you denied all of us, to actually talk."

Starter for: @alaraselwyn Where: Alara's Bakery

It was after working hours when Cressida entered the bakery after the invite from Alara. The news had gone down just a bit but it was clear that the decision made by the youngest Selwyn sibling was one for the news. The blonde knew what that felt like, so she hoped she could be a bit of support to Alara.

“Alara? Are you right there?”

Marlene had been meaning to talk to the with for a while now, just not having found a good enough moment as she tended to come over a bit too late to have a conversation with her before meeting with Sirius. Sure, they'd seen each other some mornings as she was running out to work, but taking advantage of her day off, the blonde had stopped by the flat to have breakfast with the girl.

"I'm glad we can finally sit and have a chat." She said as she took a seat on the kitchen table, a gentle smile on her lips as she had hoped to check on her. "How are you holding up? Do you need anything, love?"

where: the wedding who: @alaraselwyn

For all Evan was evil, he also knew damn well how to be a gentleman. This was their first public event together and he was quite aware of the importance it had, having indulged his fiancée with matching their outfits and making sure the rock on her finger gleamed the brightest. Their betrothal might have been rushed, but Evan had been close to the Selwyn for years to consider them family and Alara was not only absolutely beautiful, she was also bold and passionate– something that had immediately caught his eye when he decided to throw caution to the wind and risk his friendship to Emir to be with her. Luckily all had turned out just fine, the proposal went smoothly and the wizard was quite content, even proud to walk in with the brunette on his arm. Flashing a smile towards her, fingers intertwined with hers, the wizard leaned in to place a kiss on Alara’s cheek. “Are you ready to have some fun, darling?”

An owl had been sent out early that morning alongisde a small package, it was a Christmas present for one of her favorite people in the world. Agatha was waiting for Alara to join her for tea the day after Christmas, hoping she'd be wearing the necklace she'd gifted her. "I know, I know." She said once her friend showed up, shrugging her shoulders and offering a silly smile. "I shouldn't have, but it was perfect for you and we now get to have a little chat about your first Christmas with the lucky groom-to-be."

Letter for @alaraselwyn

Dear Alara,

I know we haven’t spoken a lot when we were still part of that world. But I heard about your decision. And I wanted to reach out. If you ever need someone to talk to, I want to offer you my time. Talking about something like this might be easier to talk to with someone who knows what you are feeling. I know that has helped me, so it might be good for you too.

Also, I want you to know that I admire your bravery. Because that is what it needed to make this decision.

With love,

Cressida McLaggen

He knew she'd come by eventually, at least that's what she said, if her words could be trusted any longer. Still, the wizard waited patiently for the moment where he saw the witch come through the doors, ready to guide her away from the crowd and share his thoughts with her. He wasted no time, making his way towards the witch in the red flowers dress and pulling her by her hand and into a separate room. He gave her a moment to adjust herself, standing at a distance, hands in his pockets. "Fashionably late, darling?" He asked nonchalantly, charming notes on his tone as usual, his eyes scanning her features as if to see any trace of regret or even guilt. His next words weren't as smooth, his expression shifting to allow his discontent to show. "A bloody liar, as well, it seems to be."

where: their home who: @alaraselwyn

He'd agreed to spend Christmas with her parents, after all they were going to be family soon enough and he did know them well to be comfortable around them. It'd been a simple night for him, carrying out the pureblood etiquette he was very much used to and that he knew the Selwyns shared and respected. Evan was nothing but a gentleman as dinner went by. The real trick came the morning after, when it was just him and Alara in their home. He'd never shared the holidays with someone other than Leta or friends, never had he been in a serious enough relationship before and it was a first for him, not quite sure what his fiancee was expecting. He'd woken up early, having the house elf prepare breakfast for them and making him carry it up to their bedroom, only to find the witch already awake. "Morning, love." He said, a smile forming on his lips as he looked at her in bed. "I intended to surprise you, haven't learned to cook just yet, but I did have the elf prepare you some of your favorites."
