While working on the fic today, I realized I actually have a lot of the elements I need written. What I need to do is find the right structure and I have some ideas. So I've been spending time cutting and pasting and bridging and figuring out what goes together and what doesn't. Yes, yes, a messy way to work but I seem to do it fairly often... This is the beginning of the scene that will come just before yesterday's musings from Angelique.
Marguerite waved away the tea and took a glass of Côtes du Rhône instead. She cast a quick glance at Madeleine and saw she was occupied with the pastry tray. She leaned towards Anouk. "I heard Harry made an unexpected appearance. I'm sorry I missed him, it's been an age. That man always knew how to cause a commotion."
"He will not be back," Anouk replied calmly.
"And your pretty Russian, I didn't see him yesterday evening. Did Harry chase him away?"
Anouk's smile was private, feline. She picked up her own glass. "Some wines need to mature before they're sampled, don't you agree?"
