That happy squealing noise you've been hearing all week has been me. I feel like it's my birthday and Christmas all rolled into one!! First a new chapter from you, then rubberbisquit came out to play. Now all we need is a new chapter from nativefloridian and my week will be complete. :) A snippet from janiekins would be like extra icing on the cupcake!!
Now, on to the story...
Ooooh - saying somebody else's name...ooooohhhhh, that had to hurt....poor Carlos. Poor Heather.
“He told you he was committed to his marriage?”
Ooooookaaaayyyy...what does Carlos know that he's not telling??? There's certainly a backstory between Beck and Carlos that isn't really...comfortable I'm guessing...hmmmmm....
It was if he didn’t know how or want to understand me, he just compromised. And that unnerved me, made me feel guilty that I had browbeaten him into agreeing to my side.
Not a good sign for a long-term relationship, I think.
Edward, when we argued, for all that he drove me crazy, would see things from my point of view, even if he didn’t agree with them. Nope, when he didn’t agree with them, he would just get this completely calm look and dig in.
You know, these two sentences make me find Beck even more incredibly sexy and attractive. Just...guuuhhhh...
With others, there was always that look of acquiescence when he compromised on a non-peace keeping issue. But he never gave me that look.
I love him. I'm probably not reacting the right way, but I love the mental image I get here. I can't really explain it though. I think it's the thought that with others he doesn't care enough to really understand where they're coming from - but it's totally different with Heather. That just makes me go all fangirl mushy inside. {sigh}
Then he turn around and do something in the way of apology, while still not backing down from his decision, that would make me what to clear off his desk and kiss him until he passed out from lack of oxygen.
LOL - you go, girl!!!
I'm fascinated by your take on Heather's time in New Bern; I liked how you created the aura of danger without describing a whole lot of violence. The tension in the air...
I'm looking forward to what happens next - not only to see what else happened in New Bern, but also to see the results of Heather's conversation with Emily.
I'm soooo glad you're back with a new chapter!! And I checked out your pictures and they're gorgeous. I was yearning to go to Arizona after seeing those. Maybe next year... (and I've never seen a white peacock before - amazing!!)(oh, and roses are my favourite flower, so your series of pictures of roses just made me sigh in awe.) :)
Ok, so to reply to this quickly, because for some reason live journal likes timing out on me after so many minutes for who knows what reason...
“He told you he was committed to his marriage?”
Ooooookaaaayyyy...what does Carlos know that he's not telling??? There's certainly a backstory between Beck and Carlos that isn't really...comfortable I'm guessing...hmmmmm.... I was debating some sort of side story vignette or drabble between Beck and Carlos where Carlos sees Beck as a rival suitor for Heather. Whether I write it is still up in the air.
As for the not compromising on certain points, I'd like to see it as him picking his battles with her and then softening the final answer without backing down on it. Beck, I think, can be very uncompromising when he wants to be, a wall of sorts, but I figured that if I showed him being that all the time, well, he'd just look like a stubborn prig, and so, the little softening scene afterward to say, I know I'm being a prig about this, but I glad you're still here and didn't leave. Hmm, does that make sense?
Thank you about the pictures :) and hey, if you ever want to come down here, I will be more than happy to show you around the state. Though, <.< >.>, I think Northern Arizona is more scenic than down here... Just need to persuade the SO to take me on more trips up there so I can get more pics :)
Sorry for taking so long to get back to you. I've been in an absolutely horrendous mood the last few weeks, so while I've been flitting here and there on LJ, I've been too cranky to do much of anything. :(
But, I'm feeling better at the moment, though. :D

Well, that would be interesting... :) Given Beck's comments about Carlos, and then this comment, I was wondering what their backstory was all about.

Yep, perfect sense. And I think, spot on in relation to his character, especially the little softening afterwards.

You know, that would awesome. I've been to the Grand Canyon, and I've gone through Arizona on the way to Mexico. I would love an opportunity to see more of it. Sadly, it's not likely to happen for quite a while, though. :(

Oh, I forgot to mention... The roses are in the rose garden at Reid Park (that bulleye's looking thing from google maps). When they are in full force bloom you can smell the roses from about 100 yards or more away, depending on how strong the breeze is...

That's awesome - I love the smell of roses...if I had any talent for growing things, I'd grow roses. In a real greenhouse and everything. But, alas, plants and I have very short-lived relationships (on their part, that is). ;)
