Vie wasn't quite sure when and how things had reached this point, but she couldn't really find it in herself to care about the intricacies of the situation--which was rather unusual for her. She was not the sort to throw caution to the wind no matter what the situation, but Vie could tell that that was what was happening. Whether or not she would admit it, she had grown a sense of impulsivity in the last month. But even impulsivity didn't quite encompass it, because Vie wasn't being reckless. No, she had done reckless before, and this wasn't it. She didn't feel the same overwhelming panic; instead, it was an odd sense of joy. From every letter that came in by owl with the name Ivan Warrington on it to the moments they would see each other while in the Ministry, Vie had never stopped to just think. No, she had... simply followed her instinct. For one of the first times in her life, Genevieve Urquart did not overanalyze. Because it felt like a waste, really, since she was rather confident that the outcome of doing such a thing would be rather similar to what her instinct was saying whenever it came to being around Ivan.
Don't waste a moment.
And she hadn't. She had been perfectly caught up in their exchange of letters and intriguing conversations--but restrained enough for what was expected of her. And despite that, even Vie was subject to the butterflies in her stomach when she had received the invitation from Ivan to visit him at the Bulstrode Estate. Because that was an entirely different beast to conquer. She knew it wasn't that sort of invite, she knew it was because he wanted to share something with her, but Vie couldn't help but imagine every possible encounter that would manifest as soon as she stepped foot into the home of Lady Bulstrode and Lady Warrington. The scenarios ran through her mind, and caused a surprising mixture of nervousness and ease course through her. Nervousness because... honestly, Vie could hardly believe being stuck in an elevator with Ivan, of all people, a month ago now had led them both here. Ease because, at the end of the day, it felt like this was where Vie belonged. Like this was a moment that she was more than ready to handle--one that was inevitable, really.
But Vie had not expected Ivan. If she was going to be perfectly honest with herself, Vie had never been foolish enough to imagine she would get what her parents had. Pushed together against all odds, falling in love despite their differences, and both of them so conveniently being pureblood. It was like out of a fairytale, and their happiness was something that Vie had always idolized-- but she had never thought it possible for herself. No, Vie saw herself in a pureblood marriage, but not anything like what her parents had. A marriage of benefit. Of expectation. Because she was the last line for the Urquart name, so the least she could do was produce two sons--an heir to her husband's line, and a spare to take care of the Urquart properties. And that was all there was to it. There was no reason to expect that anything more would come out of whatever future relationship was in her line of sight. Certainly not happiness or comfort.
But she felt both of those things around Ivan, and it made Vie a little more optimistic and warm than her typical demeanour. They had a connection, of sorts, she thought. She hoped, which just sounded childish, she knew, but it was just one of the many things Vie had not been able to help in the last month.
She had apparated to the front gates, then walked the distance to the steps of the mansion. Vie took a small pause--the slightest deep breath--before raising a hand to ring the doorbell. She fought the urge to bite on her lip out of nervousness, and easily subdued her smile into something more demure as the door swung open to reveal a face that had become so incredibly familiar. Vie held her chin moderately high, steadily meeting Ivan's light blue eyes.
