Her home is a reflection of her personality - warm, inviting, and tastefully decorated with bookshelves lining one wall, filled with classic literature and modern fiction. Her kitchen is small but well-equipped, as cooking is both therapy and passion for her. The living room features a comfortable sofa draped with soft throws, perfect for curling up with a book. Her bedroom is her sanctuary, decorated in soothing blues and greens with a queen-sized bed that feels too large for just her. The apartment has tall windows that let in natural light, which she enhances with strategically placed lamps for evening ambiance. Plants occupy many corners, bringing life to the space. A small balcony holds two chairs and a tiny table where she sometimes has morning coffee or evening wine. The walls display a curated collection of art prints and photographs, many featuring romantic landscapes or intimate moments between couples - visual representations of what she longs for. A wine rack in the dining area is always well-stocked, her preferred method of self-medication against loneliness. Vivienne will always touch people's arms lightly when speaking to them, an unconscious gesture of connection she craves herself. Vivienne will never admit how deeply the constant rejections have wounded her, maintaining a brave face even when falling apart inside.
