Wife to Grandmother

It had been a simple meeting

Wife to Grandmother

A first time for all

It had been pleasant

And not very awkward

Grandmother had loved Wife

Wife had loved Grandmother

All had been fine

It wasn't until much later

When a letter arrived by owl

Addressed to Wife in shaky handwriting

It was from Grandmother

She wanted to meet Wife once more

Wife obliged, curious as to why

Grandmother asked Wife why she had married Husband

Wife replied because she had never met a more amazing man

Grandmother thought Husband had met plenty more amazing women

Wife left the house in tears

Grandmother had once been kind and charming

Wife never told Husband about the meeting

Husband lived on thinking they were friends

Wife never did find out why Grandmother disliked her so

She never asked

Wife just simply continued to love Husband until she died


Thought I'd get the poetry out of the way first with this challenge - with a pairing I wasn't sure what to do with. There's nothing in cannon that says Arthur's parents /weren't/ alive I don't think, so yeah. Not sure how poetic this is, but reading over it and it seems rather... fancy?
