@theywillnotfade said: “Separating those two is like telling an alcoholic priest to stop hogging the blood of Christ.” (theywillnotfade // from sophie to elizabeth)
elizabeth let out a sound that was SUPPOSED to be a laugh, but rang painfully hollow, even to herself. she knew, really, that despite this new wrinkle in their lives, that she has no claim over robert. so this other ex....whatever she was to him turning up and getting all flirty with him really shouldn’t bother her. she was the mother of his daughter, that was all. ❝ they are rather...AFFECTIONATE, aren’t they ? ❞ she hated how hurt she sounded. this was hardly the lesson she wanted to impart to her daughter.
turning away, she squared her jaw and took a steadying breath. ❝ i’m going to go get a coffee across the street. meet me there when they’re finished, won’t you ? ❞
