Summary: New Year's Eve Party
The Story:

[ Previously in the month all residents received an invitation to a formal event: a black tie affair to ring in the New Year. The ballroom and adjacent areas are decked out for the party starting at eight o'clock sharp, meticulously planned and executed, glittering dΓ©cor to match the no doubt glittering attire as music pours into the halls from the dance floor.

Bars flank each side, service for all manner of alcohol unless a minor requests something, and the primary setting stage features an enormous clock for the countdown.

[ Where will you be when the clock strikes midnight? ]

Oh, my.

[ This woman is clearly very intoxicated, and Snow gently puts a hand on her lower back, leaning in to point at a table. ]

Will you come sit with me? I know we don't know each other, but I don't want to sit alone and have anyone giving me looks of pity.

[ She smiles softly, trying to seem completely innocent, which is pretty easy for her, let's be honest. ]

[ Jane regards this woman in her purple prom dress, then just nods, grabbing two more shots for the road. Both for herself. ]

'Course. Happy to help.

[ She follows Snow to the table and sits heavily, taking a shot. ]

'm not usually like this.

[ Meanwhile, Snow's grabbed two bottles of water but she doesn't shove them at Jane just yet, sitting next to her. ]

What are you usually like? You certainly seem...full of libation this evening, that's for certain.

[ For some reason that makes Jane snort, and she takes the other shot before running a hand over her forehead. ]

Usually, I'm...happy. Happy and not drunk and with my husband. But I can't be with him right now. Because he hurt...he broke me.

[ That immediately makes Snow frown in concern, and she leans closer. ]

Your husband hurt you? Are you safe? Do we need to get you some place else?

[ She's completely misunderstood, but worrying is what she does best. ]

[ Even drunk, Jane realizes her mistake and she shakes her head which makes her dizzy, so she closes her eyes tightly for a moment. ]

No. No, he didn't, he'd never. He lied. He lied to me. About my baby.

[ Quite suddenly, Snow realizes who she's talking to. She'd heard the story from Kurt, when she found him drunk and in the garden. This couple certainly has their way of coping nailed down. Reaching out, Snow covers Jane's hand with her own, gently. ]

Is your name Jane Weller?

[ Blinking slowly, she nods a little, confused about how this woman knows her. ]

Yes. Have we met? Do you know me? Are you from my past?

[personal profile] spiritofgoodness 2018-01-20 03:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Oh, this poor woman. Now it all makes sense. ]

No, but I met your husband here. In Wonderland. He was...in a similar state as you are now, very upset and angry that he hurt you.

[ Her voice is gentle, attempting to be soothing. ]

I'm so sorry for your loss, Jane.
endingpoint: (β˜… 18)

[personal profile] endingpoint 2018-01-20 03:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[ So, she knows. Which means Kurt has been telling people, too. On some level, she's just glad he had someone who'd listen to him. ]

I didn't even know her. How can I be so upset, when I can't even remember her?

[ Jane's voice breaks as she looks down, wanting to fall apart now. ]

[personal profile] spiritofgoodness 2018-01-20 03:48 pm (UTC)(link)
She was your daughter, Jane. You have every right to be upset.

[ Snow is sitting closer now, rubbing Jane's back in soothing circles. ]

It was all a terrible accident, but you have a right to feel the way you do.

The worst...worst part is...I want Kurt. He's supposed to get me through bad things. But he did the bad thing. And now I don't know what to do.

[ Now, the floodgates open and she cries, covering her mouth with one hand. ]

I feel like I can't breathe, I don't...I can't...figure out what to do.

[ Snow certainly didn't expect this would be happening tonight, but she can't simply ignore someone hurting this badly. When she speaks, her voice is gentle and soothing. ]

If you love him, eventually, the hurt will come to a point where...where you can see past it. And you can see this in a new way. But I think you already know maybe, on some level, that this was all a terrible, terrible accident. The last thing he wanted to do was hurt you.

He hurt me. He hurt me by lying. I know...I know Avery was...she was an accident. But his lie wasn't. He pretended not to know, he just...he lied.

[ That's the real pain, the fact that her husband hid something from her this way. ]
spiritofgoodness: (➳ 59)

[personal profile] spiritofgoodness 2018-01-20 03:58 pm (UTC)(link)
I know, Jane. I know it hurts. And you have every right to feel hurt.

[ Gently, she nudges a bottle of water closer, but doesn't say anything about drinking it yet. ]

Have you thought about why he lied, exactly? What did he tell you?
endingpoint: (β˜… 97)

[personal profile] endingpoint 2018-01-24 06:04 pm (UTC)(link)
[ lol NO. Not really. She clears her throat and sniffles a little, letting out a breath. ]

I've been so angry I didn't...stop to think about it.

[ Swallowing, Jane wipes at her eyes. ]

He said he didn't want to lose me. Or hurt me. And he knew he'd do both.
spiritofgoodness: (➳ 89)

[personal profile] spiritofgoodness 2018-01-25 05:28 pm (UTC)(link)
He shouldn't have lied.

[ Snow's firm on that, even if she can separate it enough in her mind to comfort Kurt as well. ]

But the love he has for you and his fear of losing you outweighed everything. You keep him tethered, Jane. You keep him whole. I think if he lost you, he would feel like less of a person. And so he kept something horrible from you that he thought would make you both shatter. Was he right?

[ She asks that gently as well, rubbing Jane's back slowly. ]
endingpoint: (β˜… 7)

[personal profile] endingpoint 2018-01-28 04:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Jane nods mutely, numb, and closes her eyes, whispering. ]

He was right. But that doesn't change it. Are you married? What...what would you do?
spiritofgoodness: (➳ 89)

[personal profile] spiritofgoodness 2018-01-29 04:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Snow takes a deep breath and lets it out. ]

I am married. And my husband has lied to me before. But I've also nearly lost him before, we've both been so close to death, and we've both lost so much. I had to decide if it was worth it. To throw away something because David was trying to spare my heart or give me hope or...whatever it is that he thought he was doing to help me. I love him, and I know he loves me, that his intent has never been to bring any harm to me whatsoever. Maybe that's what you need to think about and decide for yourself, Jane.
