The evening after Rose's tea for the Russian refugees, Cora and Robert discuss his reaction to Miss Bunting, his lack of reaction to Prince Kuragin, and his parents amongst other things. Violet heavy.

Modern AU. Mary is an up and coming actress on the cusp of global stardom. Matthew is a photographer getting back into the game after a long absence. They meet on a shoot for Rolling Stone magazine, things go from there.
