Vixen Volume 1 Chapter 9 - A House of Mourning

In which the sombre hush of mourning descends upon the Abbey House, weaving a tapestry of sorrowful reflections and the bitter awakening to loss that grips Mrs. Tempest and her daughter Violet with differing shades of grief. In the gentle warmth of a flickering fire and the quiet companionship of goodwill, tender attempts are made to soothe the silent, pressing weight of heartache that words cannot readily touch.
