she’s a tour guide this time around; an actual tour guide, to many tourists besides dotty, to many tourists because of dotty. it’s been so long, but ever since that young woman floated into her life, it’s been hard not to think of whenever would be the next time. would they ever have another time like this? dorothea only needed someone to show her around; marjorie doesn’t think she ever told her so, but there was no room for doubt. with her money, her influence, the very heir to the throne of genovia could have made her way through any stranged place in the world. she could afford the most expensive tickets and stays, and the most qualified people to show her around as well -- but that was not what brought her to the street that day. there were parts of the city no money could buy, that none of those things could introduce her to. she was lucky enough to run into marjorie, that day. or maybe marjorie was the luckiest in a way.
she takes those tourists to so many places; shows them historical sites, beautiful parks and streets right out of a postcard. but none of them get to see the places she showed dotty once. there’s this little irony to showing so many people around these days; it’s like she’s secretly saving the best for herself, laughing at them behind their backs with that characteristic marjorie twinkle on her eyes -- they just have no idea. paying so much money, but if only they knew... there’s so much more to the city than meets the eyes. so much more than she lets them see, anyway.
💌 : ❛❛ i get mystified by how this city screams your name . ❜❜
they’re swaying on the breeze, slowly drifting in the swings on the back of a forgotten park when she tells her. it’s a funny thought; all this time she’s been saving all these places for dotty, and now that they’re here, the reminder that this is finite creeps over her shoulder like a ghost. marjorie wishes she could encapsulate those moments into used little jam jars on her cabinet, go back to them every once in a while, just live on knowing she’d be able to go back to dotty and their made up little paradise anytime she wanted. the idea stings a sad smile onto her features.
marjorie: it screams your name to me . ( she offers, twisting the chains of her swing as she sits on it, and then allowing her seat to spin her around a few times as they try and get back into place. ) it’s quite distracting , actually ; i’m here all the time . . .
( and you’re not ) , is obviously left unsaid. not seeing dorothea on the faces of those hundreds of strangers every day was terrible torture; but at least she had her little moments in jam jars of her memory, deep into her mind.
