They spent the next day together, and everyday after that, in between classes and exams and performances, and then it was summer, and Arthur’s scholarship was extended and he got a job in the campus bar, and Eames did shows in a summer festival. They spent more time together then apart, drunk on sunshine and nights of whispered promises and cool sheets and tangled limbs. They fell into an easy rhythm, playing off each other, matching wits, bickering playfully, pushing each other, but only ever higher, to become more. Eames, for all his whirlwind mess and larger then life personality, was easy to be with, and was privately, only for Arthur, quiet, focused, wickedly intelligent, even sometimes shy. He looked at Arthur like Arthur was going to rule the world some day, and Arthur finally felt as beautiful and bright as everyone in Waterloo Iowa had believed him to be ( ... )

do you mean what time period is it set in? Because the main timeline of the story is set during the end of the second world war, although these new parts are a flashback to the years before the war, the mid 1930's...

does that help?? sorry if it's confusing!!! I have my own timeline written up (haha because I'm a nerd) so I forget sometimes that not everyone can see what's going on in my brain!

They lived like that for a year, Eames performing at the local theater, sometimes leaving for weeks at a time for productions in other cities, Arthur wading through mountains for literary criticism, piles of novels, and plays and poetry, constructing his own theories and hypothesis, hunched over a typewriter until Eames forcibly lifted him away and tumbled him into bed, cutting off his protests with a well timed kiss and his roving, talented hands. Fourth year had begun, and Arthur was in the midst of constructing a lengthy dissection of Joyce’s 'Ulysses', when Eames announced his arrival with a well-aimed letter to Arthur’s face. Arthur scowled at him half heartedly, and opened the letter ( ... )

His mother had been shocked to see him, and he had been shocked to see her so frail, almost wasting away. Scarlet Fever the letter had said, and he could see now how it had ravaged her, how her breath rattled in her lungs and she wrapped her arms around him, how she clung to his arm as he walked her back inside her room. Rose, the neighbour who had wrote him the letter and who was evidently living here in his home to help take care of her, chastised her for getting out of bed. His mother had beamed up at him as he helped her up onto the mattress and under the covers and said she couldn’t help but come running when she heard her son’s voice ( ... )

hahaha I should have maybe made a point of stating this when I posted the section, but I'll reiterate what I said to the person from Iowa, and say that I actually have no idea what I'm talking about when it comes to England/Oxford...actually, UNLIKE Iowa, I have been to England, and spent a day in Oxford, but one day is hardly enough to make an accurate portrayal of a place...I was hoping no one would notice my gross inaccuracies by glossing over everything with a nice coat of beautiful people falling in love lol

My apologies if anything was embarrassingly out of place, but they're gone from England now, and the story won't return their, so let's just wash our hands of it lol

and also, THANK YOU!
