Evangeline and August arrived a little late compared to the rest of the guests, Evie was worried about returning to the holidays with her family and especially with the presence of Percival and Thaddeus.

Both Edgar and George greeted Evie with great affection, after all they hadn't seen their sister for a couple of months and were glad she was able to attend with August.

Antoinette lived on the same street where Whiskers Market was located, so she wasted no time and it was also easy to offer Amber a cup of hot tea, the hot cup and its steam comforting her after a difficult start as a saleswoman.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
She was surprised and a little suspicious of how friendly her hostess seemed despite how little time they had known each other and how interested she was in her personal history. Amber was never much for opening up and telling anything, she considered herself better off as a listener to other people's problems rather than an avid teller, but there was something about Antoinette that was different.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Seeing her guest's shyness, Antoinette began to tell her about herself so she could inspire more confidence in Amber. Antoinette was the oldest of 6 siblings, working class, her father was a butcher and her mother a farmer so the parenting of her siblings had fallen on her until she was able to delegate that task to the second oldest, she had managed to afford a cheap rental near Brindleton market so she could help her family financially, it had been 9 months since she had seen them. In this way Amber noticed her sincerity and managed to loosen up to talk about her family, her mother's recent departure, her siblings, obviously trying to avoid mentioning the dramas that have characterized the Cushings so much.

Winterfest Ball, Redwood Manor Brindleton Bay 1842.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Lord Barrow and Lord Redwood took each other by the hand and walked towards the center of the ballroom, all the dancing couples were surprised and stopped dancing to make some space for the host of the evening, Edgar and George were disconcerted by their father's attitude.
All the guests looked at Jacques and Mordecai. Being the host of the evening it was impossible to ignore, in addition to the fact that they were two men waltzing. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Percival and Thaddeus were surprised to see another male couple dancing like them, as if it was a silent validation from Jacques. Rose watched everything from the piano, afraid of people's reaction and uncertain of how whatever was happening at that moment would end.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
After several twists and turns, Mordecai tried to converse with his dance partner, who seemed unaware of the consequences of his actions.
Mordecai: Jacs, what are we doing? I don't want you to be foolish with what we're generating in the atmosphere. Everyone is watching us
Jacques: Mord, I have been a watcher for over 30 years. Even though it's late for us, I don't want to miss the opportunity to be the interpreter of my own life.

Whiskers Sewing Shop. Brindleton Bay 1842.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The winter holidays were approaching, Evangeline was finally starting to notice her pregnancy. At the same time, she had to take care of Cynthia, something that was totally new for both of them, since Evangeline had never had to raise a child. The first decision she made was that the young girl needed new clothes.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Evangeline was embarrassed to be out in public with her husband's illegitimate daughter, she tried to remain firm and serious with her, but Cinthya seemed to be happy with this new life.
Evangeline saw this happy and innocent little girl going into a world that was not for her, rarely did this get Evangeline to empathize with Cinthya, as she saw herself mirrored when she married Francis Boneville.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Unexpectedly, Clara and Suzette had also been out buying fabric and ribbons for Harvesfest. Evangeline had not expected to see anyone she knew while out with Cinthya as she was a secret, but not so secret....
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Clara: Evie, what a surprise to find you here! It's been a while since we've seen each other... Who's the little young lady?
Evangeline: Oh hello Clara, I... I'm out shopping for clothes. This is Cinthya Cushing, Claudius' daughter. We're out shopping for clothes for Harvesfest and I want her to look beautiful.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
She didn't hide her, she didn't deny her kinship, she treated her as if she were her daughter The fact that Evie introduced her to Clara, even if it was small, meant a great deal to Cinthya.

Despite being an evening of celebration and joy at the farewell of another year, the Redwood Ball seemed to be submerged in a sea of countless gossip, rumors and whispers.
Many of the guests were himnotized by Evangeline's presence. The young Boneville widow married to her cousin-in-law seemed to dance with the lightness of a young debutante, something that attracted attention from the ladies.
Tumblr media
Percival was not left out of the judgmental stares of the more conservative generations, two men dancing as if they were a couple was most unusual and improper for the evening.
Tumblr media
Jacques wasn’t comfortable with this situation, he had to tolerate pretending to be part of this false morality for almost 60 years. It was time to understand that he could break this mold with impunity thanks to his social and hierarchical position, so he decided to help both his daughter and his nephew.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
He watched Mordecai from afar with his eyes on the dancing couples, approached and offered his hand to his former lover.
Jacques: Mordecai Barrow, it has been a long time. But I would love it if you could grant me the next dance.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Mordecai and Evangeline were both impressed by the proposal of Jacques. It went against every image he had tried to build for so many years, it seemed to show a turning point in his life.

Tumblr media Tumblr media
New Year's celebrations arrived in Bedlington, Redwood Manor was filled with ostentatious decorations and mistletoe everywhere as a way to say goodbye to the year and celebrate a warm evening in this cold winter.

The Redwoods were dressed in their traditional red, proud to see the family reunited once again as in the old days.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This year they also invited Edgar, Clara and their families to join the dinner. The younger members of the family came to celebrate as well, John was happy to be able to play with his cousins, he loved entertaining little Greenland and Lucile along with Suzette.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Madeleine and Wendla joined each other at the diningroom, it was a coincidence of life that both were pregnant almost at the same time, so they could talk about how they were coping with the pregnancy, both couples were very anxious about the arrival of future heirs.

The end of the year celebrations arrived and with them the famous Harvesfest Pantomime, Rose played the violin as it was customary more than 30 years ago and this year the theme was Renaissance Tartosa.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The entire Redwood Family had attended the pantomime, even Edgar and Madeleine had attended that night. Despite the mourning, Clara, Amber and Percy had been able to attend to celebrate the end of this fateful year.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Evangeline still wasn't talking to her cousins, she was watching them out of the corner of her eye from across the theater, hoping that Amber would understand her situation and they would get back in touch.
Tumblr media
At this time of the year it is always common to see apparitions of different empty seats at the back of the theater. It is historically believed that these apparitions are of deceased family members who watch over the happiness of their loved ones.

A golden figures full of lace and ribbons appeared through the front door of Redwood Manor, it was Evie, the little Cynthia and her family wearing her new dress to match her stepmother's, although she looked like the color was more striking for someone so shyly knowing her family-in-law.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Rose and Violet welcomed Evangeline warmly, the family hadn't been together for the holidays in so long that it seemed to be all cause for happiness at these winter festivities.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
They also noted the presence of the younger guests of the Cushing family, Robert had grown so much since he had last seen his grandmother and great aunt. Aunt Violet was always so cheerful to see him, which along with Cynthia's presence didn't seem to make much of a distinction between the two of them.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
As expected, Evangeline whispered to her mother about the surprise guest. Rose knew about August's daughter's situation, but she had been impressed by the affectionate detail of matching dresses between them.
Evie wouldn't have insisted on imitating her distinctive color, but it was a whole new world for the child, and she wanted her to understand her place in the family.

Whiskers Square, Brindleton Bay 1841.
Tumblr media
As Percy and Amber had agreed, she got a stall in a market in the center of Whiskers, this new market stall was very crowded by people of good social status who were trying to get various objects.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Amber watched all the people came and went, but her sales had been poor. From a neighboring stand a young flower seller watched her and tried to chat with Amber.
X: Don't worry, people always buy less when it's cold, in a while when the sun comes out sales are usually good.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Amber: Thank you very much for the support, I really don't think I have the personality to be a salesperson, it must be much more complicated than it seems. X: You can't imagine, the flower business in winter is hostile too. I'm Lady Necteaux, sorry for not introducing myself.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Clara: I am Lady Cushing. I really appreciate your kindness, Lady Necteaux, you must be one of the first people who have introduced yourself to me. I appreciate your kindness and I hope I can repay you sometime.
L. Necteaux: It is really not necessary, Lady Cushing. It is always nice to meet kind and hardworking people like yourself, when I have free time I can offer you a cup of hot chocolate at my home.

Cushing Residence, Brindleton Bay 1842.
The economic situation of the Cushings was getting worse, Percy didn't have a profession that allowed him a respectable job and the maintenance of the Cushing Residence was not cheap, they even started to use the money from Amber's dowry to cover some expenses.
Before the situation worsened, they decided that it would be better to sell and pawn certain antiques that were around the house, starting with his mother's old study.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This herbal remedy studio had not been opened since Jeanne's death, so there was an intense smell of flowers, dust and different herbs. This was like a sanctuary to her, so it was very complicated for Percy to start keeping these things.
Percy: Everything is full of memories, I feel so confused about what to do first.
Amber: It's okay Percy, I'll take care of the apothecary and the books. You take out the furniture and the old flowers please.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Amber and Percy spent the afternoon rearranging the small studio, dusting and cleaning as they searched for things of value that they could sell. There were several things inside the apothecary that they were putting away in different boxes while leaving items that had emotional value.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Percival: I have spoken to Thaddeus and he has gotten you a space in the Whinkers marketplace so you can sell these things. I hope that helps us for the time being so you can concentrate on your writing again soon.
Amber: Percy, it's okay. My writing doesn't give us enough income for now, I don't mind having to work in the market.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Amber could see her brother's anguish and sorrow in his eyes. She was worried about his future but preferred to show confidence in Percy to motivate him in his decisions.
Amber: Stay calm, we still have convervas and jams with the autumn crops and Mr. Delgato's store is trusting us with flour and eggs. Percy: I am sure that in the spring our situation will improve. I appreciate your patience and cooperation with this, I really couldn't do it alone.
