Love | Loathing (@choicesjunechallenge, @liaromancewriter)

Aka the loathing of one man.

Sorry, long post incoming because Constantine's bs always fills me with feelings and none particularly charitable to his dead royal ass.

I know MC in TRR bounced back from their exile at court and just took the reins with both hands upon their return but I just think it would be a whole new traumatic experience for them to have something that would have also been traumatic for them (the incident with Tariq) be exposed to the press.

And then things go from bad to worse when the press likely uses it to paint MC as something she's not.

Then things go from worse to worst when the MC is made to leave the gala like she's a criminal.

Like?? That will mess with anyone's psyche at least I think so.

So here's Evangeline in the car driving her to the airport. Her whole journey was tied to being comfortable enough to do things she normally never would have. But come the incident with Tariq, she begins slipping back into her old stuff. Plain everyday clothes, things that cover her shoulders, simple jeans, anything that makes her look plain and unnoticeable.

Then the photos were sent out and she was just kinda on a very close-to-snapping thread because now everyone knows.

Only no one knows what the real context was and instead, she was being framed as something she isn't. Next thing she knew she was being sent away from court and let's be real some press members would be wanting to take photos of her disgraceful leave from court.

Needless to say, when the whole world sees your near-naked body on a night that wasn't the best where you're definitely terrified post-incident, let's just say Evangeline ended up wanting to be covered up even more.

Evangeline ends up crying in the car ride to the airport because... well, why shouldn't she? Someone exposed a vulnerable and personally traumatic moment for her, the press is spinning it into something it's not and for some reason, she's the one being treated as a criminal. Why shouldn't she cry when she's being sent back to her motherland with her reputation in tatters and her not knowing how to explain this to her family or even the only family she felt would love her without reason or justification.

Why not cry when she thought she'd found love in a country she found to be beautiful only for it to hurt her in the end?

By the time Bertrand and Maxwell get to her, she wants to go back home to hide away in her clan's farm in the province and just try to fade into obscurity.
