This prompt is a response to a grammarsaveslives on tumblr (4/July/2014): «Roose/Walda "Must be a day ending in y."» - I hope this is okay, I never wrote them. I had to ask for help for the meaning of the expression - I hope I'm using it in the right way (it refers to something that happens everyday, righ?)
Walda's life hadn't been easy, she grew up surrounded by siblings and half-siblings, and even nephews and nieces, not knowing what her future would bring. She was mocked as a kid for being fatter than her sisters, but now she was better than any of them.
She had married Roose, a rich business man, who would give her the life she wanted and dreamed about. She was now pregnant with their first child, and she was trying to make dinner when she heard the door opening.
"Good evening, darling. When will dinner be ready?" He asked, coming into the kitchen, and dropping his things on the chair.
"Soon, I hope. Domeric called, he can't come over this weekend. But Ramsay is coming for dinner," she said, as she immediately noticed the expression on his face changing.
"Such a surprise," he said ironically.
"Roose…"
"Yes, must be a day ending in y," he said looking down.
While he never told her, she knew he missed seeing Domeric - the son of his second marriage - who was away at college, and she had met him only once, at the wedding.
His other son was a different case, Ramsay had been born out of either his marriages (Walda couldn't help but fear she couldn't please him enough to keep him faithful to her) and he was in constant trouble, the last one with one of the Stark's foster children - it hadn't been pretty.
"Maybe Ramsay just wants to say 'hi'," she told him hopefully.
"He has been coming over for almost two weeks, either he doesn't have a place to sleep again, or he wants money," he said. "Probably both."
"Ohh… Roose," she whispered, leaving the oven, and moving closer to him. "Husband, everything will be okay. The boy couldn't be in trouble again."
"Let's hope not."
"Ohh… Go upstairs and check the nursery, it's finally painted - in the most beautiful shade of pink."
