my wife gf and I when this dude in Meijer stopped us to say that we look like we “have GOT to be related.” and that wife gf looks like a young Elton John (she does not???) and that he knows because he met him this one time.
They say
You know when you know.
So let's face it,
You had me at hello.
Hesitation never helps,
How could this be anything, anything else?
When all I dream of is your eyes,
All I long for is your touch.
And darling, something tells me that's enough.
You can say that I'm a fool,
And I don't know very much,
But I think they call this love.
A/N:
~ Gods, I've been meaning to post this for.... I don't even know how long. Pretty much since I first joined Tumblr. Just been putting it off again and again because writer's block sucks. But some inspo finally hit me, so here we are. Hope you guys enjoy :3
~ Also! Nora's main story follows the timeline of the novel rather than the movie, so some canon events shown in the movie may be different.

Not my wife gf pointing out in the middle of dinner last night that the reason Walton Goggins looked so good as Cooper Howard is because he is the definition of a fifties era movie star
pics of fifties actor James Stewart included for reference
