louvelle 💜 💚 fenwick

Sometimes I'm pretty sure they're all insane.

She laughs as she says it, lighthearted and pitched up an octave. With all the syrupy sweetness they expect of a girl like her. They don't catch the spite woven in between the pleasantries which fall from her lips like a eulogy, all of them lines she'd practiced in her head a thousand times over. To be a Fenwick is to live life looking down the barrel of a loaded gun and tradition demands that Louvelle bear that burden with demure grace.

But I love them, of course I do. They're my family.

She's accustomed to the way no one listens when she speaks, their eyes glazed over until they catch on the silky ribbons she'd tied up in auburn locks. Gazes go hard and metallic and hungry and- (how old are you again?) - they ask with the hint of a smile because they think they're being clever.

Grin and bear it. The tension in her shoulders, razor wire when she runs her fingers over knotted muscle. There's blood seeping down her knuckles from where she punched the wall, makeup caked on open wounds but -

Grin and bear it. The pretty little Fenwick princess, who has wanted for nothing in eighteen years but has never been worth more than the dowry she sold for. Since they told her she steals sips from the bottles hidden in the back of her brother's cabinets but even still she-

Grins and bears it. Even when there's too many people, too close for comfort and they act familiar because they know her father. A face like hers, with a name like that, can go so far if you're willing to do what it takes. (We trade in favors, around these parts. Would you like me to owe you a favor, Louvelle?)

Ambition is a privilege, smelling of gunmetal and aftershave.

It's true, that in eighteen years she has wanted for nothing.

For she was never allowed.
