Caraf had left me. The truth was I wasn't sure I was surprised. She and I had been growing apart for some time and it seemed invitable that things between us would end. In a way I had still loved her, she was the mother of my first born after all, but I had learned quickly that she wasn't the woman I had married. But perhaps she would say the same thing of me. Either way, after over a year of marriage and a child, we had parted and once again I was alone.
I had learned only days before that my cousin Titus had returned to Terre d'Ange and he was interested in meeting with me again. Titus was a good friend, as best one can be considering that the last time I had seen him was when I was fourteen. But we had exchanged several letters over the years, even when he had begun traveling and even then he managed to send out at least once a year to me.
When Caraf finally had all of her things out and, sadly, taken Emilia with her, I contacted Titus to come for a visit. I waited in the sitting room, sipping on my tumbler of brandy as I awaited his arrival.

I was utterly thrilled that Elliot had responded to my missive and then had turned around and invited me for a visit. But with rumours of his marriage breaking apart and then the confirmation from Elliot in his letter, it made it even more important for me to visit with him.
I arrived mid afternoon and knocked, awaiting a reply.

There finally came a knock from the door and it made me jump, shaking me from my thoughts. I put down my glass and rose, waving away the staff who came to answer the door and opened it myself.
"Titus." I said with a faint smile as I saw him on the other side of the door. He came forward without a word and embraced me firmly, giving me a solid pat on the back. "Thank you for coming. It's good to see you again, I'm sorry that it had to be under such circumstances."

He looked sad but not really broken which is what I had expected to see. We entered deeper into the town house and sat in his lounge, he poured me a drink and we began to sip in silence. "What happened?" I asked softly as he settled in his chair.

Elliot had sent me a missive; Caraf had left him and taken the baby with her. I was furious. I dressed accordingly, jumped into my carriage and headed over to his town home. When I reached the house I didn't even bother knocking I just turned the knob and entered. "Elliot?!" I called out as I pealed the gloves from my hands and pulled off my cloak to hang them up before I entered deeper in the house. As I passes the sitting room I saw Elliot and sighed sadly before heading toward him. He rose and I wrapped my arms around his neck.
"Oh Elliot I'm so sorry." I whispered as I embraced him then slowly pulled back. It wasn't till then that I noticed another figure. I narrowed my eyes at the familiar figure with lavender eyes. "Titus?" I said excitedly as I ran toward him and embraced him as well.

I rose when Evangeline entered, stunned at how beautiful she had become. She had always been attractive even when she was young but she had also been just a girl. Now she was a woman and she had filled out for sure. She threw her arms around my neck and I embraced her back before releasing her when she pulled back. "Evie. Its good to see you again." I said smiling.
