OK, to begin completely off topic, Jilly?! Yes, yes! My mind has been spinning with ideas and I cannot wait to see what you come up with.
So onto the gushing that I always do when it comes to you.
No matter how much time between updates, I read one paragraph and my heart is back to this place of anxiety and want and twinges of pain. You bring it back instantly and I love that about you and this story.
Cannot believe how Noah just starts talking about work, and Luke’s okay with that. The line about eating where you work, both funny and gross and again Ioved it, because it’s them and it fit.
Noah looked up hot chocolate recipes? That’s so…I’m running out of words, but lovely, really. They’re so tenuous around each other, afraid to step close to that desire of what they both want, and each step closer is wonderful, but once they realize they’ve gotten there, they stop and pull back so fast, I feel whiplash. And yet, it makes complete sense. They could be so perfect together or it could break them completely and I think they’re both so broken as is, that any chance of that happening more, would just push them over the edge so they keep teetering back and forth. Yeah, I’m rambling now sorry.
Bloom. Noah likes that word. It had made him think of Luke’s smile. Pure poetry. I love that that makes him think of Luke. It makes me think of him too and as dark as Noah is, it’s nice to see this moments of hope and purity, almost that Luke brings to him. I think they’ll be so good for each other and it’s nice to see the glimpses of it already coming through.
Noah’s explanation for buying the mugs…so utterly perfect.
And yeah, I think I was probably in tears by the time I got to this. “If you could find a way to try and trust me, you’ll see, it’s all I ever wanted.”
