*He moved out of the way, too, laughing along with her*
"I was just thinking, as I came up the drive, that the opera house looked like the Gold Emporium threw up on it."

*She rolled her eyes.*
"Exactly. At least my predecessor didn't have a penchant for fat gilded babies with wings. Oh no wait, she did. Friggin cupid. Though evidently, she was superior in every way, if I'm judging by Danvers's report." *Her voice was a bit miffed at the end after the porter left.*

*Christian raised an eyebrow at that*
"Can't this woman give you a chance? It's hardly fair to compare you to someone you don't even know."

"Well, I'm convinced she's a psychopath anyway. She was practically in love with the first Mrs. de Winter. You should hear the way she talks about the woman."

"Maybe she was in love with her, and she's just repressing it with this nasty act she puts on."

"Quite a good hypothesis." *She said.* "Though I think she's convinced the woman's going to walk back through the door any second. She keeps her room made up and everything, which I technically shouldn't know yet but fuck that shit.*

*Christian's expression was basically a "wtf?" one*
"She...keeps the room made up? There's something seriously wrong with her if she's doing that."

"I'm thinking about asking Maxim if I can redecorate some of the rooms. Most-to-all of them smack of Rebecca."

*He nodded*
"No need for her influence to linger. You are the lady of the house now, and it should show."

*She giggled.*
"Ugh it's been so long since I could laugh like this!" *She exclaimed, hugging him again.*

*He hugged her back, laughing along with her*
"And it's been too long since I laughed with you."

*She laughed.*
"So how'd you manage to get away?"

*His easygoing expression quickly sobered*
"I...had to lie. It was the only way he'd let me go. He wouldn't have if I'd told the truth."
*He felt both guilty and frustrated at being in the position, and his voice echoed the feelings*

*She grabbed his hand comfortingly.*
"Lying sucks. But I'm glad you're here." *She said sweetly and genuinely.*

((I love how it says "Irish Boy" under that avvie...because you're talking to a JRM )) *He gave her hand a squeeze* "I hate having to even do that just to see a friend and have that visit happen with some peace and quiet." *He heaved a sigh* "I've learned a lot about Erik. Bad traits and good. Hasn't changed how I feel about him, but..." *He smiled at Micaela* "Hasn't changed how I feel about you, either."
