flashback thread with @oldflowersbyname location: highgarden, the reach
florence couldn't put together what she felt in this moment. she was aghast by how quickly her world seemed to be trembling down. with each step she took, she felt a a flash of anger wash through her, but at the same time, with each breathe she took she felt her self suffocating.
this isn’t real...
ten seconds passed, and then twenty and thirty, emotions still consuming her.
no, this was very much real.
she admitted to herself; the hurt that comes from such a realization hitting her like ocean waves; hard and all at once. she bites her lower lip in attempt to hide back the tears that were on the verge of slipping out.
she knew she should wait. wait to confront her friend when her emotions weren’t at such an extreme high. she knew she was going to say things she would later regret, but she could find it in her to wait. not after everything that has now unfolded. laena and cedric were the two in her life that were constant; the two people in her life who she has been able to trust. and her trust was not something she gave out easily. she eventually makes it back to her own chambers where laena now waits for her. she enters, her face flushed. her orbs land on laena and she feels herself become at loss for words. standing behind the tall wooden doors she just came from, hazel meets violet. she shook her head. “i know.”
“why?” she demanded, her voice barely above just a whisper.
