They're...going. *Scarlett gave him a tired half-smile.* I got paid at all of my jobs last night. By the lovely family at the apartment...and the Blakeneys...and the hotels...and the Opera...and of course Valmont. *She gestured towards the bag sitting on her desk, which was filled with all of her earnings.*

He smiled. "That's all that matters, isn't it?"

Ohhh yes. Money is all that matters. *She sighed slightly, picking up a brush and getting to work on her long, tangled curls.*

((Why do period characters always brush their curls?))
"Come on, at least you're helping us a lot. It's worth it."

((...Because...um...Curls are pretty and need brushing and characters need something to do with their hands?))
Of-of course. *She hesitated for a moment.* Teddy, I've been thinking about...these jobs. And the money. And...everything.

((Yes, but...but...they're magicalcurls.))
And I...we're going to be able to keep the apartment and everything, we'll be back on our feet eventually, but I...I don't know if I'll be able to...quit. What if he doesn't let me?

Oh, Teddy. *She smiled slightly.* So, I- I was thinking about maybe going to Manderley. For Aunt Micaela's baby's christening, you know.
