The life upon her yellow hair but not within her eyes--
The life still there, upon her hair--the death upon her eyes.
The life still there, upon her hair--the death upon her eyes.
Nova pursed her lips in thought. As harmful as rumors and gossip can be, it moves quickly. If there is no evidence and no further fuel for the fire, it will be forgotten before long. I fear divorce would not only be seen to validate the gossip but it would keep it at the forefront of people's minds a great deal longer. The specter of divorce would always follow her, being something of a rarity it would entertain the gossip circles for months. Eleanora would probably carry the stigma until her own marriage. It it were to end up a published scandal complete with irrefutable evidence then... The idea of divorce was quite horrific, to be rejected so thoroughly and publicly by one's husband... She couldn't even romanticize it, not presently anyway, it all but ended a woman's life! Nova knew she could never bear the humiliation. Then I suppose divorce may be the lesser of two evils.
