ask sent by, @inruin ; "this isnt what i need right now." (mildred for gwen)
- mildred is so very hard to read. gwendolyn tries, oh god, does she try - but it’s near impossible to ever know what the other woman is thinking. she hesitates for a moment, toying with the idea of reaching out her hands and taking mildred’s within her own but she quickly decides against it and resorts to placing her hands upon her arms instead. it’s intimate but it still, she hopes, gives her the space that she thinks mildred prefers. “ then tell me, mildred. “ it’s hard to mask the desperation in her tone. “ tell me what it is that you need right now so that i can accommodate. i’m trying. “ and there it is, the defeat. façade cracks just a little, unmasking the vulnerable side of gwendolyn briggs ( the side she’s tried to hard to keep protected. ) “ i want to make this work between us - i want to ensure that you’re happy, that i’m giving you everything that you could want, that you could need. but - but to be successful, you’ve got to work with me, my love. this is a two way street and i’m no mind reader, despite how much i wish that i was. “
