The look of satisfaction etched upon Catherine’s features had caused her heart to drop before the words had even been allowed to properly sink in — Francis knows. The realization felt like ice water being poured upon her, causing her heartbeat to quicken & dark eyes to WIDEN in horror. He wasn’t supposed to find out like this! She was supposed to tell him, he had deserved that much. She doesn’t even bother with another word for Catherine, frantic steps already headed towards his room, an unspoken prayer upon her lips. She doesn’t even remember to knock. ❛ Francis — I can explain. ❜
