Frank!
Emmeline couldn't stand it, she was nearly bursting at the seams. Today had been one of the best days she'd ever had, it was just---amazing. Everything was perfect. Everyone looked perfect! Everyone was smiling and having fun, Mackenzie made sure to give her some
duties, which meant she was part of a special unit of party planners and---Caradoc had not so subtly suggested that they find a place to live. Together, away from England so that he wouldn't have to be stuck in a house all day.
He wanted to move
away with her, and the excitement that sentiment brought was the reason why she was a bit late at arriving to the party, and why her hair would just not stay in place after being so amazingly disheveled. They had to celebrate this momentous decision in an
appropriate fashion, of course.
In all honesty, Emmeline was keen to move tomorrow. She could do it tomorrow if Caradoc wanted, if they could plan, but she was quickly reminded that while most of her ties to England had been severed, one very strong bond still remained. Emmeline would never be able to up and leave Frank behind without any notice. Firstly because he'd probably track her down and
kill her for it, but mostly because he was the brother she never had, and she wouldn't dare hurt him that way.
So, while telling him that she was quite sure she was moving across the Atlantic Ocean was something that would not settle nicely with Frank, bringing up the secret that Caradoc was alive and well and had been living in her childhood home for the past few months might actually make the move seem like no big deal at all.
But how to tell him and not have him flip out completely, or even better, actually
believe her? Emmeline realized that there was no sure fire way to go about this, so when Frank had detached himself from Alice's side, she swung her arm under his and began to drag him up the stairs, where the coats of the guests were floating up in an orderly manner to be magically hung in an ever-expansive closet Mackenzie had arranged. She really had thought of everything.
"So---you know how much I love you, right?" Emmeline said cheekily, turning to Frank and crossing her arms over her chest, making sure that they were out of ear shot. The party was roaring downstairs, however, so Emmeline knew they were safe.
