NEVER - ENDING CHARM COULD FAIL HER EVENTUALLY . now it’s a permanent fixture in her personality , ebbing & flowing perfectly throughout conversation , though a glistening twinkle embedded in chestnut hues . as she sits back , teeth plunging into ruby lips , she knows there’ll come a day where the charm would fail her , possibly this very day . though he may not see it , the siren knows rory is something . something that she wants at her side from here on out . not purely out of selfishness , no . mainly out of this sickly feeling in her stomach that inches its way to her heart . love was one term for it , she supposes . teeth unleash her bottom lip , giving him an expression riddled with anxiety , an eagerness to say what she needs to say . ‘ i don’t wanna be your friend , ’ she says bluntly , probably too blunt . it seemed to come out of nowhere . that’s not how she wanted it to come out , though she takes a moment to shake her head , rewinding herself . ‘ i , uh . . . i think i’m falling for you . ’ there it was : the words she was beginning to dread . it’s probably a good thing , something extraordinary , though scarlett fails to see that part as she waits in silence , hoping he doesn’t run away .
