    Summary

    Eloise took Cressida’s chin between her fingers, and for a moment Cressida’s heart thought it might explode out of her chest, but then Eloise guided her face back toward the mirror– until they were once again looking at each other through a glass veil.

    “You ought to be more careful with your words,” Eloise teased, weaving her hands through Cressida’s hair again to finish the braid. The touch was farther away, somehow. More mechanical than intimate. “Lest I forget myself and fall in love with you.”

    OR: Cressida falls first. Eloise falls harder.
    OR OR: Fake courting turns to real courting

    Summary

    It takes only a second before something very strange happens to Eloise’s brain, an amplified version of all the times the very same thing happened over the summer. It’s like wind in her ears, her vision narrowed and focused and completely out of her control, everything about her feels out of control. Suddenly there is nothing else in the world more interesting than Cressida’s tongue brushing against her own fingers she had brought to her mouth, cleaning them of the melted vanilla.

    The swoop of her stomach and a surprising pang between her legs causes her to drop her own container with the surprise and force of the emotion. Such an ache that she had been stomping on since returning to town comes back in full force, as if the withdrawal of not acknowledging it forced it to become stronger.

    This very confusing want that Cressida had caused her over the months of their friendship pounds through her with a vengeance, with an anger at the audacity of Eloise even trying to ignore it as if she didn’t spend weeks trying to control the scary pit of it at all. She’s not even sure what she wants really, just that… that…

    “Your ice cream!” Cressida says with sorrow.

    Summary

    Eloise realised her mistake and wanted to make amends with Cressida, thus she invited her friend for a lovely occasion of enjoying ice cream. Unbeknownst to Eloise, however, it was more than desserts and apology taking place—not when a flash of tongue disarmed her.

    Summary

    “You should try writing to her, even if you are not to send them. I find, when I have so many feelings that I am unsure what to do with them, it helps to release them creatively.”

    “But you draw, and I’m not much of a writer honestly. Well… most of the time anyway.”

    “There are all kinds of writers you know. You believe yourself to not be a writer because there are so many of them already around you, but the world is full of creativity, full of art, full of someone who will always be better at something than you Eloise. Besides, I’m not asking you to publish a book of poetry for a long-lost lover. I’m just saying, try an outlet for once that doesn’t involve smoking on a swing?”

    At that she had laughed but she had gone to bed with Michaela’s advice singing in the back of her mind and then had spent many nights when she couldn’t sleep in Scotland doing exactly as she had suggested.

    And now Eloise stared at the never-to-be recipient of dozens of letters that hide in her desk drawer that resides in her room at Aubrey Hall and she is none-the-wiser and oddly calm and beautiful for someone who has been stuck with sheep for the last year.
