Leave it to Estelle to cut straight straight to the chase. "It is not a particularly cheerful topic that is on my mind, in fact it quick mimics the weather," Her sister was not her first choice for discussions like this and so she was going to try and avoid it for as long as possible. It wasn't as if Estelle would be sympathetic or care much about the situation. In her already foul mood, Torie thought Estelle might even be a little giddy over the whole thing. It wasn't like her courtship, as the youngest, looked good on either older sister.
"It will be fine." She assured her sister with a tired sigh. Eventually, hopefully. Torie had gotten caught up in making a love match that she clearly hadn't seen the ramifications. She'd been blinded to the truth and she needed to refocus on making an advantageous match. If she could do that, she would be happy. She just needed a good place, a good man and her position in society would be secure. She would be secure. If she could get that squared away, things would be fine. It wasn't as if she had the challenges either one of her sister's faced. Torie could do this, she just had to get back on her feet.
