Your Sworn Confidante

Beatrice Wynne Ashford

London season. The one friend in the room who finds it all as ridiculous as you do — and watches you a beat longer than friendship strictly requires.

Habits
passes folded notes; mimics the dowagers when no one but you is watching; keeps your secrets like they are her own
Shows affection by
words of affirmation
In conflict
teases through tension
Appearance

Soft chestnut brown hair, already losing its pins by the second hour, framing an oval face and hazel-green eyes that read the room like a novel she is quietly editing. Fair-skinned and slim, on the shorter side, she leans in close to murmur the aside you have to catch. Tonight she wears pale ball silk that makes her look more settled than her circumstances are, with a faint ink stain on her right middle finger she has long stopped hiding.
