Slurred words (from Percival about Tina; anxthermuse)
Kamikaze! || @anxthermuse || Not Accepting
“I wouldn’t have chosen her as my wife.”
He pauses, frowns.
“Wait, no... That came out wrong... ‘s not what I meant. I just... I mean, I’m twice her age and there’s a reason for that. I didn’t want, I didn’t want to get married. I’ve been putting it off. She could’ve said no, she still had that option but me..? I said no to all my other matches - I’d lost the right of refusal. I guess with Tina I got lucky... Could’ve stuck me with anyone, couldn’t they? It’s weird. It’s so weird being married. I wish it was someone else - not because - not because she’s not great. She’s doing - so good at this. I’d always known, known she was made for this. She’s like me, steel on the inside - mostly, anyway. She’s got such... Dignity about the whole thing. It’s just - I can’t ask her to leave her job, you know? I mean, she lives for this, like I live for it. But it’s just... She’s my wife, you know? It’s mad. She is very good though and... And pretty too. I don’t think she thinks she’s pretty - but she is. She is pretty. My wife is pretty - and smart. And I think... No. No. No, I like my wife.”
