[Gertrude Robinson @GrBookworm18]

@betterweatherd Yet, here you are.

What is it they say? Do it scared?

I think you'll find it worth the fear.

[Gertrude Robinson @GrBookworm18]

@betterweatherd You could look at that and say there's no use trying, no use living, but. I think the brave live anyway, no matter the odds.

[Gertrude Robinson @GrBookworm18]

@betterweatherd I'm not. I have practice appearing otherwise.

If you want pessimism, I can give you that. 42% of marriage ends in divorce, and all the rest end in death. Those are the options, unless you get very creative with the type of tragedy you're enacting. +

[Gertrude Robinson @GrBookworm18]

@betterweatherd Ha. There's a reason I've never tried it.

But you're up for the challenge, I know you are.

[Gertrude Robinson @GrBookworm18]

@betterweatherd Well.

I'm... Proud of you. For still chasing them, after all this time. Impressed, perhaps.

[Gertrude Robinson @GrBookworm18]

@betterweatherd No, come on. You aren't impulsive, not like that.

Even if you said it in the moment, you said it for a reason.

[Gertrude Robinson @GrBookworm18]

@betterweatherd ... Why did you ask him in the first place?

[Gertrude Robinson @GrBookworm18]

@betterweatherd Tough but tender. Sweet and violent. You defend each other.

... You even relax when you mention him offhand. Whenever you've got plans with him that evening, you move through the day easier.

I think married life will suit you.

[Gertrude Robinson @GrBookworm18]

@betterweatherd Both.

[Gertrude Robinson @GrBookworm18]

@betterweatherd I think it suits you, to be honest.

[Gertrude Robinson @GrBookworm18]

@betterweatherd So you're going to beat it to it?

Come home. Give it some rest. Get a proper ring that won't give you tetanus, whatever feels right. And live the rest of your life.

[Gertrude Robinson @GrBookworm18]

@betterweatherd Most people worry about the bad. You're always different...

Good things happen because they've been happening. I find these things tend to snowball. You got... Something of a blizzard of bad, and it just took one miraculous and unlikely good thing to push the trend the other way

[Gertrude Robinson @GrBookworm18]

@betterweatherd Ha. Of course not.

That's why you've got to keep the little things we do get. You worked for them, harder than most. You've earned this.

[Gertrude Robinson @GrBookworm18]

@betterweatherd And now, you have the opportunity.

Are you going to give it up again?

[Gertrude Robinson @GrBookworm18]

@betterweatherd I think he's made of stronger stuff than that, dear. He's been through this a few times, he knows what he's getting into.

You don't, though. That scares you.

[Gertrude Robinson @GrBookworm18]

@betterweatherd ... No, but.

That's different. You're young, you've found this boy. Why not keep him?

[Gertrude Robinson @GrBookworm18]

@betterweatherd I don't see why not. You do look good in white.

[Gertrude Robinson @GrBookworm18]

@betterweatherd Then what?

That's most of what matters here.

[Gertrude Robinson @GrBookworm18]

@betterweatherd Only issue I see is with the paperwork, and we could easily figure that out.

Do you like him?

[Gertrude Robinson @GrBookworm18]

@betterweatherd That's rather rash. I imagine you asked him for a reason.
