starter: venus ( @earlyblues ) location: their parents' home
There's nothing necessarily wrong with a family dinner. She loves her father more than anything, and has over the years grown to the love the woman who makes him so happy. The food is always wonderful, the mood light, but Nora always seems to end up lost in her own head, worrying about the 'perfect family' expectations she can't meet. It's no secret she and Venus aren't the close knit sisters their parents would have loved for them to be, and though her father would never say it, Nora can't help but think sometimes he's a little disappointed — that she couldn't make this work, that she isn't more outgoing or charming. Conversation doesn't come easy to her, as much is obvious from the nervous tapping of her fingertips against her glass as they wait for their parents to return.
"So... How's work? Many people getting married lately?" She cringes, looking away.
