@AbsensParens + something."

The decanter was a beautiful spiral of blown glass, with intricate patterns of gold leaf gilding along the curves and mouth of the piece, and she was careful while setting it down near the bottle.

"Here. We can let it settle while you get started."

@AbsensParens + out, though, she smirked to herself. A faint sigh losing itself in the air, whilst she moved to grab a second—along with the decanter on display as the centerpiece of that corner bar.

The wine glasses, no doubt, would be much simpler to find, considering their hanging display at the center of the bar in question. All backed by a large set of mirrors inlaid in the paneling, for the sake of opening up the space.

@AbsensParens + addition was already a new favorite. A gift from Anthony, after spending a decade in exile.

She was only ever human, after all, no matter how Edith might have tried to make a monster of her in the rearview.

Valued at about two-hundred and fifty dollars, it wasn't the most valuable vintage in the collection—but still felt more than nice enough for the occasion.

Perhaps she was showing off, if only in the slightest measure.

@AbsensParens + anniversary.

More often than not, if she actually wanted to drink any, she would just make a trip down to the corner store; all things considered, though, she figured there wasn't any harm in sparing one of the better bottles.

@AbsensParens + nicely.

As for the passcode, any slight was far from intentional. Over the course of their marriage, the date had simply become a staple to any and all of her passwords and pin numbers—a habit that was just too hard to break.

"Can you grab one of the other bottles, too?"

As quiet as Sam had so clearly been attempting to be, Christina caught on to the issue at hand. Was already reaching to catch her daughter by the shoulders and fret before the words that followed had a chance to catch her by surprise.

"Of 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴𝘦 I'm alright; you're here."

Cue the woman sliding in beside her, gingerly so as to not aggravate the stab wound. She did however hit it against the table.. a hiss of pain followed.

"Dios mío, that hurt." The words were hushed and a moment later she was okay again. "You okay? You know you're not alone."

[𝐂𝐇𝐑𝐈𝐒𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐀 𝐄𝐒𝐂𝐔𝐃𝐄𝐑𝐎 @UxorErravit]

@AbsensParens + And yet...

"There's a wine cooler in the sunroom, if you want to pop it in there; it was a Christmas gift from a client, a couple of years ago."

Complete with a keypad lock, out of consideration for her concerns about the girls.

"The passcode's our anniversary."

@AbsensParens + custody—along with any and all of the shared property between them that hadn't left the house with him on that first day. Whatever needed to be done, really, to get things finalized as quickly as possible.

@AbsensParens As far as Christina had last been made aware, there was something awfully important missing from her ex's left hand; a 𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 that she'd been made aware of a few years back.

Either that relationship hadn't panned out, much like their own, or he was making a habit of +
