May 4th, 1888 - Puddlemere United Quidditch Season Kickoff Gala (Boxes)
The delight of watching her favorite team compete in their first match of the season was somewhat lost on Lucinda, who was too nervous about what people might say re: her husband, his wheelchair, and his retirement. Or re: her rather odd summer season. The Cavanaugh Quidditch Party - her re-entrance, so to speak - in February had gone well. That was the off season, that was Quidditch People, this was about to be the season and held a mixture of Quidditch People and Normies.
It was this anxiety that brought her to the front of the box, watching through the glass with her fingers wrapped tightly around her cocktail glass. If she was anxious about the match instead of about the people around her, then life was instantly less problematic. She was wearing dark blue for Puddlemere, carefully selected to exactly match the hue on the player's robes.
The game - and perhaps the half a cocktail - had managed to absorb her attention. Wimbourne's new Chaser snatched the quaffle out of the air in front of the box. "Damnit," Lucinda sniped, clapping a hand over her mouth as soon as she realized she had just swore - swore! - in a box full of people who might not Get It. Damnit.
