Valentina glanced at Decker as he spoke, taking in each of the words and giving a small nod at the end of his speech. She appreciated that he wasn't trying to push her or any of the other wives...although she couldn't be sure whether that simply implied the little one - Lacey, she thought her Domestic had called her - or was genuine. Or if it was being done to keep up appearances among the other guests. With this thought, she realised that she wasn't out of the woods yet. She still had to be careful.
Pulling herself from her thoughts, Valentina then looked back at Raven, a soft smile still on her face.
"...You're very beautiful," She said quietly to her, resting her chin on her hand as she put her elbow onto the table. "Don't let anyone tell you otherwise."
She liked this girl. She may be quiet, and seemingly nervous of her, but all that would change. She just needed to show Raven that she was in no way a threat.
