alt_rabastanLook, I know you'll want to say something, so let's have it, shall we?
I'm sorry I didn't tell you ahead of time, but I didn't want to jinx things before we'd even gone to court. We are very, very happy though, and we will be very, very happy.

Date: 2012-08-11 06:24 pm (UTC)Changed from what? If you mean my notorious past as a wooer of women, then yes. I was weary of it even before I met Rory, though your keen observation skills never seemed to register that.

Oh, it might try to steer a different course for a time, but that will end in folly. The passionate heart always yearns, and the cold heart steels itself in ice.

It sounds as if this is a fairly new realisation for you, though.

Most of us accept that we can't change, and yet we love to indulge in the fantasy that we can change someone else. That we can be the one who opens
herthem up, dives inside them like a pensive and gives them everything that they every wanted.If you know that such a thing will never happen, then the two of you may actually stand a chance.

Date: 2012-08-11 06:57 pm (UTC)There are things I wouldn't take back, and would never, ever want to lose. My children, our reputation, our standing before the Lord Protector.
But I never have changed. All of those metaphorical flames just found another source to consume.
Meanwhile, the Missus remains faithful to her fantasies. I'm happy to let her have them.

Date: 2012-08-11 07:03 pm (UTC)Look, glad as I am that your, uh, flames found something to burn, you ought to be careful. I've always had the feeling that Bella thinks of you as a mirror of her own devotion. You know- a dog kneeling before an idol and waiting for scraps. And if you're kneeling before another... I mean that figuratively, by the way-
Anyway, she doesn't take kindly to insults.

Date: 2012-08-11 07:14 pm (UTC)I suspect that she doesn't want to lose those things, either - it's my desire that she can do without (and has done since we had Rigel).

Date: 2012-08-11 07:16 pm (UTC)I was planning on a rather tame stag night, but now I think I'd better concoct something completely lecherous- for your sake, not mine. Barty woud probably enjoy it, too.
