Author: litlover12
Prompt: #10
Fandom: The King's Speech
Character(s)/Pairing(s): Bertie/Elizabeth
Genre: General
Rating & Warnings: PG
Word Count: 100
Summary: Set after the family dinner, early in the film, where David insisted that Wallis be included. Part of my series The King's Drabbles.
In the car, Elizabeth gave Bertie a significant look.
“He can’t be serious,” Bertie repeated, weakly.
“Darling, I’m afraid he might be.”
“But he can’t! He w . . . wouldn’t. Elizabeth, I know him. He wouldn’t be that reckless.”
She laid her hand on his. “Perhaps you’re right.”
Bertie squeezed her hand and stared out the window, trying to believe his own words. He felt the presence of something like a shadow, very near him. He could not have named it, but it was there, dark and cold, and it stayed close as the car rushed into the night.
