🪐 — INBOX CLEANUP / @immobiliter as villanelle sent to katiana :
❛ yeah, you’re living the life . ❜
❝ YOU MEAN WE ARE, ❞ katiana corrects. & she gives a cool smile, interlacing her arm with the other woman’s as they stand at the terminal gate with brand new matching designer luggage sets in hand. the flight crew is preparing her father’s jet for boarding, & they will be the only two passengers on the flight. & though they had only just met, katiana saw no reason she shouldn’t act as though they were the best of friends already. not that she knew what it was like to have such a thing in reality, but she imagined that a trip like this would be much more fun with someone like that at her side. but in her experience, travel companions were girls she had never met, usually just above her own age, & the assumed daughters of the various high-ranking men in her father’s political orbit. katiana privately thought that they might be secretly there as glorified babysitters — paid off to report back to her father about her behavior while she was abroad — but to voice it aloud would color the trip with a tension that would undoubtedly cause stress wrinkles in her flawless skin. no, if this was meant to be a vacation, then denial was far preferable. so why not lean into the act ? ❝ you’re flying with me now, so you can consider it our life for as long as you stick around. ❞ that was the deal, wasn’t it ? it certainly didn’t seem like her companion actually wanted to be there. which katiana actually thought was a little insulting. after all, what kind of person would turn their nose up at a month at a shared luxury villa on the italian coastline ? ❝ have you ever been to italy before ? it’s stunning, you’re going to absolutely fall in love with it. ❞
