‘’yes, i am asking your opinion.’’ katya did a little twirl and held up her arms for a moment so the guard could see. she suspected he knew right about nothing of fashion but it wasn’t like the countess had any other friends she could ask. ‘‘ its new, tell me what you think.’‘ @averycassel

                         ‘‘ avery?’‘ she couldn’t wait for a response, no instead katya just burst into his room.  she’d really pushed dimitri over the edge this time - she wasn’t even sure what it was that had caused this reaction : maybe the fact that she was not enthusiastic enough during his forced kisses to her lips or perhaps the fact that she’d dared to interrupt him when he scolded her about it.    but blood was dripping down katya’s chin now, coming from her nose and the split lip that she'd received from her husband & she was sure that with the way his hand had collided with her face, she’d have a nasty bruise on her cheek by the morning - not to speak of the ones on her hips and arms.   the countess was used to his violent behavior but it had never been this bad before. katya looked up at avery with a tear-stained face, before lowering her gaze, ashamed of the current state she was in. ‘’ i’m sorry .. i didn’t know where else to go.’’ ( @averycassel )
