The world was built for men, a construction that allowed little room for
women to speak their mind and be heard. Where their value was limited to
the idea of virtue and faithfulness in a way men were free of. She might
have resented it then if Aramis had not agreed with her and let her forget
the unfairness of the world a little while longer. It was easy to feel
comfortable in her own skin when it felt as if she was actually seen
in a way that had naught to do with who she was married to or what
reflection she was upon her husband.
Who she had been married to. A definite past tense, and one that had added
to her desire to drink her fill at the bar.
Constance did not think before she curled her hand around the mug of
honeyed tea set before her. "I missed you all," she told him, reaching up
another hand to pat his cheek with the remembrance but not the force of the
previous times she had slapped him. "Life is more exciting with Musketeers."
