In that respect Joscelin is fortunate. She grew up in a closely knit family knowing that she was (and is) well loved. The misfortune that had befallen her, leaving her broken beyond repair, had been one entirely of her own making. But even then she had had the love of her family to return to.

How long have the both of you been living here?
Her golden eyes flick briefly back to the two women as she asks her question, a faint hint of curiosity in her gaze.
