52. Under the Influence
He sits in an armchair with his mother by his side, unable to take his eyes away from his wife. Even after so many years of marriage, he finds her as alluring as the day that he fell in love with her. She smiles at him over Edith's shoulder, and he feels his heart constrict in his chest. Where has time gone?
Violet coughs pointedly from beside him, and he realises that he has lost the thread of their conversation. Cora fills his senses. He can never seem to concentrate properly when he is in the same room as her.
A/N: Yeah, I thought I'd steer clear of drunken shenanigans; a hundred words isn't really enough to do much in! :P
antigone - Yep, I've no doubt about it. At least Violet softened to Cora in time. And I've heard of the interview, actually - I've even got it in my favourites, but I haven't had time to watch it yet. I shall have to do it now. :) I'm looking forward to how Mrs. Levinson will affect them! Thanks for reviewing!
