Alexis?

Evan! *hugs tightly*

*hugs her back just as tightly* How are things, sweetheart?

*sighs softly, has no intention of pulling away any time soon*

Wonderful, horrible, confusing, upsetting.

*good job really because neither as he*

Is there anything I can do at all, apart from being a listening ear and a good shoulder for crying on. I wish I could help more, you know.

I know. *tightens arms* You're one of my dearest friends.

One of my other friends, someone I love so very deeply, said that...that since I've married Lucius, I've lost who I am, I'm just his muggle wife and I've been reduced to grocery shopping and hanging out with children.

*tightens his arms and smiles* And you're one of my dearest friends.

When you get married to someone, you should always retain your sense of self. Maybe you need that break? To find yourself again? I'm not saying that your friend is right or wrong, only that I can see that you're very unhappy and confused.

*curls in and sighs*

I can't leave him, Evan. It hurt so much to be away from him...

Then I'm not sure what I can say to help ease you. *frowns, because he really wants to help and he doesn't know how*

*sobs softly* Make it all go away, make it like we were when we first me, so madly in love and so very happy...

*hugs her tightly, rocking her a little* There are...spells, but I don't know how they'd be on a Muggle, and Lucius would quite possibly kill me.

*looks up for a moment, tears falling down her cheeks* Spells? I just want to be happy again, to love him as deeply as I once did...for us to be a family. There are spells that can help me do that?

*wipes her eyes and sighs* I'm not sure... affairs of the heart you shouldn't really mess with, I for one know all about that with the things that happened between Grace and I. You can't MAKE yourself love someone, but if the feelings are there... *thinks* I'll have a look. I'm not promising anything, I'm not that good at potions, but I'll ask Grace. Or Chessa. There might be something.

Where's the last place you remember putting yourself?

*blinks*

*can't help but smile a little*

In the kitchen with the candlestick with Miss Scarlet?

...

Nope, I can't think of a non-sexual reply.

That was slightly the point, honey.

Ah, a woman who already knows my fantasies. It'll save me a lot of lewd comments later.

Please, it's nearly every man's fantasy. It's not that hard to figure out.

And here I thought I was interesting and unique.

I'm a muggle living in the Wizarding World. I doubt you could be more interesting than some of the things I've seen.

Is that street for 'I'm a crack dealer in China Town'?

*blinks* *shrugs*

Sure, why not. Crack and General Tso's chicken, all in one convenient lunch cart.

Could I get one to go?

What, go and bring the cops down on my lovely establishment? I think not!
