The DeVille Family | Generation 1 

The DeVille family went on in the night, coping with the news in different ways. While putting on a strong front, Harrison swore he could hear quiet crying from inside of his parents’ bedroom after Vicente went to sleep. He could hear the quick typing on Alice’s laptop, with her muttering things about legal issues that could help. Elizabeth stayed on the couch with Pepper, quietly reassuring her mother’s dog that she would be back soon.

Harrison coped the only way he knew how: with physical activity. With every punch, he can feel this strange new feeling inside of him. The feeling of a calm storm swirling inside of him. 

His mother committed murder... but she did it to save someone she cared about. Octavia would have been killed if Nathalie didn’t step in and turn the knife on Annabella. Sometimes, desperate times call for desperate measures.

“Well...” Harrison gently places his hand over hers under the table as he looks at her softly. “I don’t think we really know what’s next for us. We’re kinda just taking things one day at a time. And I think that’s just what works best for us. They say the best plan is no plan, after all.” 

Kaya smiles back at him, trying to hide the blush on her face. “I guess the only thing we can say confidently is that things are going great right now, and I personally can see them staying that way for a long time.” 

Nathalie watches the two intently and can’t help but chuckle. “Well, that’s good to hear then.”
