"I brought wine," Francesca announced.
Selene smiled, welcoming Francesca with a hug. "Thank you. I have been busy recently, so I am sorry if I forgot something we had planned."
"We didn’t," Francesca said as she handed Selene the wine. "I wanted to come see you since it felt so long since we last talked. Also, my husband is busy, so there’s nothing for me to do. We will be moving soon."
"Right. You have mentioned this," Selene said, saddened by the news.
Francesca was the one person Selene could count on to speak to when she needed a friend. Francesca’s departure would push Selene to find other friends, but at this point, Selene didn’t know if she had time for it.

"Your workers might hate to see you go. What can we have with wine?" Selene wondered, inspecting the decorative bottle it came in. "It is beautiful."
"I am told it is a human craftsman who makes them. I am thinking of employing him to make art for me. Oh, that reminds me that I have a few more gifts for you since you liked the art I have. I bought a few pieces of art for you," Francesca said, starting to follow Selene.
Francesca examined the inside of the estate. It was a rare sight since Xavier didn’t have too many guests before Selene was here.
