It is a shame that one did not last. I had forgotten how fun that whirlwind romance could be. Which is, at its very core, a shallow interpretation of romance. But I suppose it should be flattery when a woman is given flowers, or read poetry, or even saved from rain. Such chivalry, of course, should be applauded

Romance and poetry. I suppose you're right. It is always shallow. But it can be fulfilling to read them in solitude.

[preachyrose]

I am not defending its realism.

Clever? What are you referring to?

[preachyrose]

Or maybe a bit of prayer helped.

[preachyrose]

Are you doubting the power of prayer?

I know just as much as you do.

At least there are some her concerned with common decency.

[preachyrose]

After the last conversation you and I shared, this is the last thing I thought I'd hear you say to me.

[failedcreator]

I was referring to the individuals who engaged in a marriage.

[preachyrose]

Again, a futile effort.

I'm inclined to agree. In many ways, the 'romance' depicted by the flood was quite immature, like a child drawing a picture of its parents holding hands.

[preachyrose]

And yet you still brought me flowers.

[doctor_j_crane]

Despite the flood, I still thought that you might enjoy them.

Private

[preachyrose]

And I did. They are appreciated.

And, Jonathan, I wasn't making this public, but I did manage to get cider from Desmond, if you would like to join me one day.

Picture slid under her door

[It's a picture of a butterfly, a very badly drawn one with googly eyes stuck on top and no antennae. He doesn't sign it, but figures it'll be obvious. Yes, this is what he's started doing when he's not screaming from nightmares. And yes, he is thirty-years-old going on six.]

[It's totally hung on her wall above her desk now.]

[She can likely expect at least one a day for at least the next week, all drawn in pencil and all of horrible butterflies. He might get colorful at some point but not in the next couple days.]

[She will cherish them forever.]
