No celebration with dl_greenarrow
The mansion has been cleared of any potential problems and Tess has resigned to returning to the only place she really feels comfortable. Not that she feels completely safe; she's all too well aware whose house this really is. Security has been doubled.
Today, however, Tess doesn't feel much like caring. It is, in her opinion, the worst day of the year and she'll be damned if she's going to let Lex take her rightful misery from her. There are other things to be bothered by than him.
Despite sitting by the raging fire going in the study, Tess doesn't feel all that warm. Perhaps it's because today of all days, regardless of how badly she might be feeling, she just can't bring herself to open the bottle of wine in front of her. Or perhaps it's simply because it's ridiculously cold outside.
She herself may not even know.
