she’s already two glasses of champagne down , having whipped out the most expensive bottle that they’d been saving for their anniversary to mourn the anticipated loss of her fourth marriage ( & her self - confidence !! ) . how does she always manage to marry the wrong one ?? not once , not twice , not even three times .. but four consecutive marriages , all down the drain . she really does know how to pick them . the sound of a knock at the door causes her to flinch , but she doesn’t move . “ the doors open !! “ how very not veronica of her . usually she’d have her staff in to take care of anyone & everyone , but she’d told them not to come in that day , to spend time with their families & to not worry about their wages because veronica would ensure her husband paid them over . she pours herself another glass , dark orbs narrowing up towards the source of the knock as they entered her home . “ oh , it’s you . “ it’s not that she’s not happy to see them , but they pose a constant reminder of how she’s not good enough for their father . “ can i help you with something ?? “
