for the fic writin post! number 10! 😌
10. Favorite line or lines of dialogue that you’ve written
Y’all my dialogue is NOT my strong suit come on. Here’s the first thing I found:
“That is only the beginning. I have four languages with which to describe you, Morticia, and I lack only the knowledge of where to begin.”
“Begin at the beginning,” she says, and she has turned to face you, now, close enough to touch. You feel as if the only part of you that truly exists is the arm which she still holds.
“I have not stopped thinking of you since I first saw you at the funeral. I barely even looked at the corpse, and, when I went home, I carved your initials into my leg with the knife I was given for my twenty-first birthday.”
She smiles at that, leans forward a hair’s breadth. “Go on.”
“You are confident, and dangerous, and we tangoed like there was no one else in the world to tango with, and you said you did not want to be worshiped, but it is taking every ounce of my self-control not to fall to my knees this very instant. In fact, I might anyway.” With that, you do, releasing her arm with a pang of regret, and ruining some excellently tailored pants in the process. You look up at her, through the rain, with more honesty than you have given anyone in a long time. “Last night, Morticia, I proposed with no ring, and I thought it the madness of first infatuation. Now, I propose again, and still I have no ring, but I know it to be the madness of deepest love.”
