October Prompts
8: Honor
This is inspired by @ladyrosse ‘s cardgame request. Honor - (in whist) an ace, king, queen, or jack of trumps
Robert sighed as he flipped over another card. Three of spades. He surveyed the short lines of cards he’d laid on his bed tray and found he had nowhere to place it—no lonely four of hearts or four of diamonds, no orderly stack of spades resting at the top. He sighed, again, and drew a new card from the deck.
King of hearts. He frowned. Well, he had needed this card but he had no free space to lay it.
“Oh, bloody hell,” he muttered irritably, and Robert drew another card.
He peered up from the new card as the door pushed open, and then he smiled as her face peered around the door.
“Hello, darling,” Cora smiled, and Robert felt all-at-once relieved and envious. She had on her thin summer coat, her gloves, her hat; she moved to him and kissed the top of his head, and she smelled of fresh air and sunshine. He pouted.
“How are you feeling?” She asked with a second kiss, this time to his temple, and he shook his head.
“As if I’ve entered some ring of hell Dante neglected to mention.”
“Oh,” a third kiss—to his cheek—elicited a tiny spark of warmth, “it can’t be so bad.”
“It is.”
Cora’s lace glove pointed at the cards arranged before him. “Your seven of clubs can go here.” And she walked, then, to her dressing table. Robert dropped the cards he held and watched her.
“How is everyone?” he asked as she pulled her gloves from her hands. She glanced at him in the mirror. He continued. “Frederick and Beatrice? I suppose they’re well.”
“They are,” she answered, and he watched, still, as she took the pin from her hat and removed it from her head.
“I suppose Fred’s off somewhere, enjoying the glorious days of summer.”
He heard her grunt of a laugh and a small part of him delighted in the way she rolled her eyes. “The grass is always greener, you know.”
His eyes followed her as she stood to take off her coat and came to sit beside him, near his feet.
“I’m not sure Fred would like to trade places with me. He rather enjoys food.” He paused as she took up the cards from the tray. “And wine,” he added in a soft groan, at which his wife shook her head.
“Well, I like you well.” She was looking at the cards, squaring the corners of the deck. “And not in a hospital bed.”
He hummed, conceding the argument with some reluctance, but with love for the way he’d heard the sincerity in her voice.
“Now,” she was shuffling the cards, “what shall we play?”
“Hand of poker?” he smirked up at her. Cora narrowed her eyes.
“I won’t have my bedroom smell of cigars, thank you.”
He laughed. “Very well. German Whist, then?”
“Alright,” and she began to deal. “Thirteen cards, isn’t it?”
He nodded and watched the way she quickly dealt them out. He watched, too, the way she stood and made herself more comfortable as she put the deck between them, tucking a knee upon the bed. A quick image of her from years and years ago flashed in his mind, and his chest tightened sweetly.
There she was, lovely as ever, and here was he, an old man with a new scar marching across his soft stomach.
“Hearts are trumps,” she said, and she looked up at him.
He laid down a card, she did too, and he took the trick.
They played a few more tricks in silence, Robert glancing up at his wife and finding her prettier and prettier, sweeter and sweeter, until at least he felt the words—I love you—gather on his tongue.
No. He swallowed them down. This too much resting, too little solid foods, it was making him irrationally emotional. And he knew his wife. She wouldn’t know what to do with any of that.
He cleared his throat. “Do you know, this version of the game, of whist, is also called Honeymoon Whist.”
“Oh?” She smiled at him, and she played a card. “Why’s that?”
“I don’t know,” he answered. He took up the trick. “But considering the name, I thought you’d find it amusing.”
“Amusing?”
“Yes.” He chuckled a little. “Honeymoon whist.”
She was quieter than he thought she should be, and suddenly he realized she didn’t remember. “Cora. We played whist on our honeymoon.”
She blinked at him.
“On the train,” he rested his wrist in the tray, he was sure showing his hand. “You do remember, don’t you?”
She smiled, her brow furrowed, and then she shook her head. “Did we?”
“Yes!” He nearly shouted. He looked back at his cards and selected one to play. “Honestly, Cora, I wonder about your memory—“
“—in Italy?”
“Not in Italy, no!”
She put down a card and took the trick. “I don’t recall—“
“—in Scotland. Or rather on the train up to Scotland.” He put down a card. “Do you really not remember?”
But when he brought his eyes up to her again, he could see that she did.
Her crooked smile. Her bright eyes. Her tilted head. “Oh,” she said quietly. “Our wedding night.”
“Yes,” he arranged his cards. “Our wedding night.”
“I remember that you let me win.”
“Nonsense,” he laid down a card—king of hearts. “You didn’t have any help from me.”
“Yes I did.”
Robert looked up at her, at her even quieter voice, and found her smiling at him.
“I had plenty of help from you.”
The pink smile she wore felt contagious, and the corners of his mouth tickled upward as he thought of that night thirty-five years before. How young they were, embarrassed and fumbling about. How tender and rose-tinted it all seemed now, nights and nights and nights of marriage softening the sharp corners of that evening.
“We helped one another,” he grinned, his cheeks warming as he watched a small blush rise in his wife’s cheeks.
She nodded, and, reaching his free hand out to the tray, he chuckled softly when she took it in her own. “Yes. We did.”
“And, we will continue to help one another, won’t we?”
She extracted her hand from his, and she pushed the the trick he won towards him. “Yes.” He loved the way her eyes sparkled when she cocked a brow. “Though, you have at least two more weeks before any of that, thank you.”
He laughed at her, unguardedly and, for the first time all day, happily. “That isn’t what I meant,” he lied.
And Cora only glanced up from her hand at him, smirking behind her cards.
“No,” she lied, too. “Of course it isn’t.

Drabble - Blue dress
This one is written on request of @ladyrosse.
The dress in this story is the one we see  Cora wearing in S5E8 in the beginning, when Rose's parents meet with Atticus parents.
Robert glanced at the door, where was Cora, it took her a little bit longer than usual to come down. What was she doing? He tried to listen to the conversation that was going on.
Carson walked towards him. "All the guests are in the drawing room, is her Ladyship coming?" He asked.
"Thank you, Carson, as soon as her Ladyship joins us, you can announce dinner," Robert answered. He looked at the door again, but there was no sign of Cora yet.
"Papa? Where is Mama?" Mary had walked towards him. "Something wrong?"
"Nothing is wrong, dear." Robert answered. "Your mother will be down soon." He waited for Mary to start a conversation with the chap that was standing next to him. The door opened that must be Cora he thought. And as always, he felt his heart flutter, even after all these years of marriage he still got excited seeing her. She appeared in the doorway in a stunning blue dress, her blue eyes lit up, when she saw him standing in the back of the room. Robert was mesmerized by her appearance and needed a minute to soak in her beauty. She had worn this dress only one time before. They were in London, for Rose´s wedding. The dress was royal blue, covered in a kind of lacey fabric. Robert never knew the correct terms when he tried to describe Cora´s dresses. He remembered the back of her dress, it showed of her shoulder blades, without showing to much skin. He realised he was staring at her and quickly walked towards the door to greet her.
Cora was looking at Robert, she was relieved to see him walking towards her. Even after all these years she still got nervous walking into a room full of guests. She could not wait to go back upstairs with Robert. After a busy day entertaining, there was nothing better than to crawl into his arms and settle down for the night. Unfortunately, they still had to entertain their guest for a couple more hours. Robert had reached her and softly put his hand on her hip and kissed her cheek.
"You look mesmerizing, my darling." He said, while he kept his lips a little too long on her cheek.
Cora's hand went to his upper arm, his strong arms, which were always there to protect her. She forced herself to let go of them and think of something else. They were in company and should behave.
"I am glad, you decided to wear this dress again." Robert said softly, so only she could hear him.
Cora felt her cheeks colour. "You remember me wearing this one?"
Robert stepped back a little and said semi-indignant. "How could I not." He then stepped back towards her. "You always look stunning, but this dress." He run his hand over her back. "This blue makes your eyes shine and the way the dress moves around your legs." He stopped. "I do not know how to describe it, but you look stunning my darling." His hand still running over her back.
Now Cora's cheeks were bright red. "Stop it." she said softly, without sounding too harsh. She glanced around the room, but everybody was engaged in their own conversation, and nobody was looking at them.
Robert took her arm in his. "Milady, are you ready for dinner?"
Cora leaned in on him. "I am Milord."
They both looked at Carson, who nodded in agreement.
Cora turned towards the guests. "Dinner, everybody."
The drawing room started to empty, it was a big dinner with a lot of guests, and it took a while for everybody to leave the room. Robert stayed still, with Cora's arm still in his, his hand on hers. She nodded at the guests while they walked passed. Mary and Edith were the last ones to leave the room. Cora stopped Edith. "Darling, after dinner I will not stay to long can you make sure all the guests have what they need?"
Robert gave her a concerned look. "What is it?" he asked.
Cora padded his hand. "I am just a little worn down, nothing to worry about. A good night's rest will help."
"When, you are sure?" His eyebrows were drawn together, he was worried Cora was hiding something for him.
Cora got on her tiptoes and kissed his cheek. "I promise, there is nothing wrong. These days have just been busy with the hunting and everything. I am not your blushing bride that could go on for days on end."
Robert checked the room, and it was empty. He pecked Cora's lips. "You are still my blushing bride." He brushed his hand over Cora's cheek, which coloured the moment he said that. Robert chuckled. "You see, you still blush. Come my dear, the sooner we sit down for dinner, the sooner you can retrieve in your bedroom."
Cora's heart swelled from the love she felt for this man, she was the luckiest woman alive.
