Not For the Life of Me
A Reylo 1920s AU inspired by the musical Thoroughly Modern Millie
Chapter 6: But Now I Got It Bad
Rey. That girl. That gorgeous, intelligent firecracker of a woman. She’d worn red once again and he swore she did it on purpose, just to torture him, but there was no way she would have known that was his favorite color on a woman. Even besides that, everything about her was perfection. Her hair fell in those lovely chestnut waves that made her look like a screen siren and her face held such beauty and warmth - her cheeks had even turned a tinge of pink from the mint julep. Hell, she had been able to hold her own at drinking and dancing on her first visit to a speakeasy! He had to admit he was amazed by her and her aptitude both inside and outside of the office. Her flair was enchanting, and he was utterly captivated by it.
So much so he had broke decorum and referred to her by her first name.
