[ group hug ] a hug that involves multiple people - eloise & benedict @ francesca @storyofwhoiam

Francesca loved her family, but she hadn't expected her siblings to come all the way to Scotland. Eloise had suggested staying longer, which Francesca had rejected, Eloise needed to go back to London, Francesca wasn't going to let her sister put her life on pause for her.

She hadn't known Eloise had written Benedict, though in hindsight it made sense.

The moment she saw her older brother Francesca burst into tears, and let her siblings pull her into a group hug.

“Your hands are freezing!” Anthony @ Francesca! Gonna go eat dinner but then I'll send moooore @strxngertogether

Francesca knew it was late and leave it to her oldest brother to find her out of bed in the middle of the night, but he wasn't scolding her.

Just holding her ice-cold hands and sitting next to her on the settee.

"I couldn't sleep, I wanted to practice, but I didn't want to wake anyone, so I was waiting for sunrise."

Francesca's head came to rest on Anthony's shoulder, after the disaster of tonight's ball she hadn't expected her older brother to come check on her, but come he had.

"I wish I was more like the rest of you, I'm just... not like the rest of you. What's wrong with me?"

"The password is 'eagle', you apes." Gregory @ Francesca! @strxngertogether

An unlady-like snort came from Francesca perched on the settee in the corner.

She really shouldn't laugh, Gregory calling their siblings apes was rather rude, but it was just so unexpected from her brother.

"Gregory, don't say things like that, it's rude." Francesca said flushing furiously when everyone turned to look at her. She wanted the floor to open up and swallow her.

"No, I'm not, I never say the right thing! I talk about the piano forte too much, I'm too particular, I try to control my reactions, but I just get so excited and can't help myself." Francesca fought back tears. She didn't want to fall apart in front of her brother.

"It's like we're playing a game, and everyone else knows the rules, but they won't explain them to me, and when I think I've figured them out, they change." Francesca wrung her hands, tears blurring her vision.

"Papa used to say I was like Uncle Hugo. He was awkward and passionate. I don't want to be awkward and passionate, I want to be normal!"

"I wish I was more like the rest of you, I'm just... not like the rest of you. What's wrong with me?"

Francesca couldn't help herself, burying her face in Anthony's shirt as the tears poured forth.

Her eldest brother had always taken such good care of her, as much of a father figure as a brother.

So Francesca clung to her brother and wept.

How could Anthony help? Francesca didn't know. He couldn't fix her.

"I wish I could just be me, that people wouldn't judge... I wish the world was kinder."

this is a masquerade party, after all. Violet @ Francesca! @strxngertogether

"I think I wear a mask often enough if everyday life," Francesca muttered to herself.

All she wanted was to sit quietly and avoid the ball, but her mother was not having it.

"I'm really not feeling well, may I pleased be excused, Mama?"

there’s a symmetry to it, don’t you think? Vi @ Francesca! She's trying to Bond about music @strxngertogether

"Yes. It's beautiful, isn't it?" Francesca loved how music could mirror other pieces. It was its own kind of beauty.

"I didn't realize you noticed things like this."

[ 𝐆𝐔𝐀𝐑𝐃 ] My muse sits by your muse’s bedside while they are sick/hurt Violet @ Francesca! @strxngertogether

Francesca had been bedridden for days, and in all that time her mother had been there, opening her eyes, Francesca reached out to touch her mother’s hand.

"... Mama." Her voice was hoarse from disuse, but there.
