Resolution

Every day she makes the same resolution, don’t give in, don’t let him look at you like you mean the world to him, don’t let him touch you, don’t you dare let him kiss you.

Well done. It left me reeling.

[veritas_st]

Wow, thank you. x

I like how you used time here. The jumps really gave this a feeling of inevitability that added to the impact of a broken resolution. Excellently done!

[veritas_st]

Thank you so much!

The fact that it's forbidden must be the fuel keeping this flame burning. Well done!

[veritas_st]

It really does. Thank you x

This strongly evoked something like Benoite Groult's 'Salt On Our Skin' in my mind, which is admittedly one of the only romance novels I've ever read, but a damn good, quite literary one. I think the key was probably in that adept balance of sensual detail, psychological insight, and sense of the passage of time. Loved it!

[veritas_st]

Thank you for your lovely words!

I think in part it's how long it happens for. Even if you know it's for the best, it's still a huge part of you, your life.

[veritas_st]

Its a massive part and it affects you at the time without you even realising it. xx
