“ is it true that freddie saved your life in france? ” ada’s tone is flat, cold to match the black of her dress. she hasn’t said very much all afternoon. what was there to say to the girl who had been widowed all too soon. without the boy she had been in love with since she was nine years old. still she’s never felt the need to hide how she was feeling from her brother, given that he’d be able to read it off her features anyway and she also didn’t have to worry about being blunt. “ he told me once, when he was bloody drunk, ” it was the only time they talked about that time really. // @blacvcoat
