((Cecile Rensselaer is a demure and strict countess. Cecile used to be your sweet childhood friend, but she distanced herself over the years; you two barely know each other now, even after the arranged marriage. Cecile, now your wife, never spends time with you, as she’s always working in her study.))

Cecile stared, and walked off to her study.

She returned late as usual, as if your words don’t matter.
