(no subject)
After her picnic with Billy, Cassie went back to the empty suite, to her room, restless. She tried to work on homework, but after awhile of being non productive she gives up, gets out her current book journal and goes to select a book. After a moment, she curls up with one that she had started awhile ago but hadn't finished.
The more she reads, the harder it gets to read. A lot of it is recounts of their relationship, but mixed with it are thoughtful passages that she rereads..
And now, I am loved as I have yearned to be loved, loved as warmly and as strongly as I desire. God has given me a jewel of great price, and it rests with me to make dear Katie happy or unhappy. May my heavenly Father make me faithful to the trust, and may I never in through, word or deed, cause main to that gentle, loving heart. God bless her, oh God bless her!
Then later she comes to this passage: Ah my darling girl! It is worth while living to learn the value of love; it is worth while to spend years of anguish and craving, to know the rapture, the immeasurable joy of loving and being loved again. If I can feel your warm kiss on my cheek now, and can almost fancy you are at my side again; how eagerly I shall count the moment until our happy reunion! I am not fearful of your forgetting me; no, I feel that I can never waver in my love for you, and I will not do you the injustice to esteem you less than I esteem myself, who am not worthy to kiss your hand, if mortal worth be the standard; but who, if faithful, passionate, and pure affection be the standard, shall without misgiving, claim you one day as my bride, nor feel that I am unworthy of such a priceless gift as as your love.
She rereads the passage three times, and then closes the book with a snap.
She leans against her pillow and then gets out her journal and stares at the blank page for a long time before she slowly begins to write.
If Two Were Ever One
Good use of period language..
Poetry and pose..
Alliteration..
She puts the pen down and stares off into space.
Eventually she turns over to a new page and begins to write again.
It's only been four days. Four days and I don't like leaving him at the end of the day. Four days and I would rather be with him than anywhere else.. Four days and.. I don't want to be anywhere else or think about being with anyone else but.. how can I have such strong feelings after four days?
I think about him all the time. It's..
He's so sweet and cute and he makes my head spin.. And when he holds me I feel so safe.. He's constantly surprising me and making me laugh..
I guess it means something that Sam accepted him so readily. And I know that he's good.. I always know people are good.. but. She sighs.
I think it's not as much the feelings, perhaps, as that they're here so fast..
But that's only when I'm here, at home, and thinking about it. When I'm there and with him, nothing else matters.
