    Summary

    She almost thinks she’s hallucinating when she flips the card over and subsequently drops it.

    Hide and Seek.

    Inside, the scorched record player starts up with a screech. Grace bristles, tears forming in her wide eyes, nails digging into her palm. Run run run, time to run and hide--

    “No. Fucking fuck, no--” Equal parts rage and fear pump through her, bruised body shooting up off the ground and looking around, crazed and frightened and--

    Le Bail stands before her. "Let's play another game."

     

    Alternatively: Grace finds herself stuck in a time loop, and Daniel is her only constant.

    Summary

    She looks up at him to see a single tear escape him, and he tightly screws his eyes shut to prevent the onslaught of them.

    Sophie breaks for him, all of their recent struggles gone from her memory, she only wishes to comfort him. She lets go of his hands, and his eyes open again, perhaps even more emotionally destroyed than before and he swallows roughly and nods his head despite another tear rolling down his cheek. “Forgive me—“

    ———

    A rewrite of the scene in the study after Benedict throws all the papers to the floor, because I desperately wanted to see that man cry in Sophie’s arms.

    Summary

    Step one: Die.

    The first thing Daniel noticed about his brother’s girlfriend at their first meeting was her smile. She had a great smile, wide and toothy, nothing prim or guarded about it. Grace smiled like a real person.

    It's what he thought about on the steps of the mansion, when he lied there bleeding out. He could see her teeth flashing against the blood covering her face. It was awfully romantic to hope she'd smile at him before he went.

    Summary

    The sun rose and her new family blew to bits. Alex begged for his life and she had no mercy to give.

    Before she walked out of the mansion, the empty chair at the head of the table caught flames.

    On the steps it was peaceful. She lit a cigarette and blew out the smoke towards the brightening sky. Someone stood in front of her.

    “I ought to have been more specific from the start”, they said, voice a vibration that made her teeth hurt.

    Grace looked up to face… nothing.

    The figure continued: “You have fought to release me from my contract with the Le Domas family –”

    “Actually, I fought to fucking stay alive”, she spat.
