We Make Our Own Paths

Genevieve and Siena were like sisters. She'd known the fellow woman for ages, and she could not recall the last time they'd ever lost touch with each other. The famous modiste was somewhat of a confidante for her, a person she could trust with her deepest and darkest secrets. That was exactly why she was perched inside her friend's shop, one leg over the other and sipping on a bottle of top shelf wine that she'd nicked from one of her men's apartments. Glancing over at her, she uttered, "I cannot stop thinking about him, Gen," She must have known exactly who she was referring to. It was Anthony, an individual who'd captured both her heart and soul, someone who stayed on her mind nearly every minute of the day. "What on earth do I do?"

Genevieve closed shop for the evening with a sigh of relief. She is getting tired of these demanding Mamas who want her to bring the moon in order to make their daughters dresses perfect. 

Relaxing in one of her sofas, she noticed an intruder coming into her flat. Seeing a familiar pair of legs walking in, she got up and gave her friend Siena a hug. 

“Oh love.” Letting go of their hug, she looked at her friend, confused and heartbroken. “When was the last time you saw him? And what happened? Let me correct that, what didn’t happen between you two?”

Normally, Siena Rosso did not form deep connections with men like Anthony Bridgerton. While being an opera singer, she worked as a courtesan, accepting wealthy individual’s affections in exchange for a better life. Returning the hug from her friend, Siena pulled out a bottle of French wine from her coat, offering it to her best friend two pour them two cups. ”Gen, I love him,” The brunette let out a sigh, flopping down on one of the settees in the modiste’s back room. ”I’ve left my fiancé for him and chances are, we will never reconcile and be together once more.” What was the point anyway? They could never truly be together.

“Oh mon cherie.” Genevieve gives her a hug with her fake accent. “He is not worth it.” She returned to her real accent as she accepts a glass. “I know you love him but it’ll pass. Besides, you are a beautiful woman. At the end of the day, you alone are your best friend.”

She takes a sip and think about how much of a hypocrite she sounds. She is trying to help her friend get over a Bridgerton while in some sort of a “physical arrangement” with another. But right now, Siena needs her help. Her arrangement needs to wait. 

“I think we should do is take a small break from London.” Genevieve suggested as she takes another sip. “One of the seamstresses can look after the shop while we’re gone. I’ll just say I’m making a short trip to France. A little bit of distance and a lot of time with friends might help clear your head, darling.”
