She destroyed the words HEE HEE HEE. a) brilliantly described: "she destroyed the words), and b) all I can think of is her saying "Och Aye", exquisitely poorly, in T&C.
He couldn’t help it—he laughed Understandable - so did I.
stifling it quickly when he saw the flash of hurt in her eyes. Oops. But yay him for immediately backing off so as not to truly hurt her feelings…
He glanced down at the watch, holding her hand as he traced the words with his forefinger. “I’ll teach you. Tha gaol agam ort.” GUH. Okay.
“Listen to what I say, don’t think about how it’s spelled.” He repeated the phrase again—Hah GEUL AH-kum orsht—holding her gaze *falls out of chair*
He found, as he said the words yet again, that they’d lost much of their sting. Aw, here it is again, what I was babbling about earlier, how the simple act of exposing something making things better, sometimes. We saw this with Rose vs. Loreen - taking her insults, bringing them to light, making light of them, and once in the light, they seemed as small and ridiculous as she herself did. And now these words, opposite to an insult but painful for him nonetheless, but they're brought to light, and he says them and Rose says them and the darkness in them goes away and they become beautiful again. *happysigh*
“Oh. I think I like that.” Rose was still breathless. “What’s my next lesson?” HEE. Also, yes.
“Telling me you love me repeatedly as I make love to you,” he growled Where does one sign up for these lessons? *un-caps Penny*
My word, I loved this story. Truly madly deeply and moreso for the "soup to nuts" knowledge I'm lucky enough to have of it. I'll never look at that screencap of Peter the same way, and I'll likely never look at watches the same way, either. Just…absolutely wonderful. *bliss*
