Monday
No Confessionals Today.
Special Spiritual Attonement Day.No, not for all the breaking of that whole Chastity vow thing (
technically, she was still a novice and hadn't even taken those vows yet, thank you very much), but for the whole getting drunk and deciding to stupidly babble out all your feelings to a certain someone thing. Rosette Christopher was actually packing away all her booze and swearing to never touch a drop of it again in her life. She'd learned her lesson, and was never going to allow herself to drunkenly tell someone that she loved them ever, ever,
ever again.
And then Chrono came into the church from his trip to the
post office, out of breath and holding a letter. Her head tilted. "What's up, Chrono?"
No words; he just shoved the envelope toward her. She blinked and then looked at the letter. And pale. Then flushed as her heart lept, and then she paled again. She opened the envelope. She read the letter.
...Remington was coming. To check up on her. In two days.
Screw it. Rosette tore open the box she'd just taped up, pulled off the top of a bottle of whiskey, and started drinking heavily in deep, desperate gulps.
