last night i took melatonin for the first time and i had the strangest dream about dnp i had like a fly on the wall perspective watching peoples m&g but there was only like 10 ppl and they all came in like one big group instead of one by one, and it was in like this really broken down castle and everyone was like complaining bcs the floor was literally crumbling away where they stood? And then dan and phil were like ok time for the show and led everyone over to this massive wooden table and it was all laid out with loads of food and they were like welcome to the Grand Pheast guys! and everyone on tumblr and twt was live tweeting it somehow?? (i think someone was doing a space or like a livestream) but we were all like omg Dan and phil are sat opposite each other at the grand pheast this means they’re together… and in the dream it was the most solid bit of phan proof ever like this convinced everyone that they were together and nobody cared that they were in this really run down castle without a roof having a feast instead of performing their show 😭😭

average melatonin dream

"a woman would treat her right" question do you believe lesbians are equally capable of harming their partners. question do you at default assume the straight relationships around you are of a lower quality than the lesbian ones around you. question do you believe there is something inherent ("biological" or "trained") about men that makes them gross, bad at sex, inconsiderate partners, etc in ways that lesbians (always assumed to not be men) don't have. question do you believe men to be capable of only an inferior sort of love and kindness and spirit when compared to (always assumed to never be men) lesbians. question why do you think that's an okay way to think/feel about an entire group of people based on a characteristic they have no control over (gender). question do you think you're normal about bisexual people, any kind of trans person (this view can affect all of us depending on the angle regardless of actual gender), cis butches on T, or achillean people. question do you see men as equal humans.

we can have butch chivalry we can have the "sweeps her away from an unfulfilling straight marriage" fantasy i get it believe me but why are you always making it about men and how bad men are. why is that how you express your desire or concern for (usually, in this case) women. we can stop doing this at any time.

before you get mad at me yes a lot of abusive or shitty or underwhelming men who're partners to women are like that due to misogyny. but they are not like that because they're men. not the same. and i don't think you can argue that misogyny is inherent to men without reinforcing a bio- or gender-essentialist framework, which i thought we all knew was bad. women are capable of and do perpetuate misogyny and abuse they are not some mystical safe haven of purity and splendor. lesbian separatism should die as a concept and if i could kill it myself i would do so barehanded. i would like to share in y'all's yearning and hope and love without it always being about how men are yucky and we don't wanna play with them anymore (or were so wise and perceptive that we never wanted to play with them). stop making lesbianism into a fucking country club your lesbianism does not make you superior

[linagram]

What would've happened if the prisoners got different verdicts than they did? (In trial 1 and 2-wise)

putting everything under the cut bc im yapping a lot here..

(also warning for descriptions of eiji's possible punishments for some prisoners and how hinode's punishment could affect them)

akio: being voted innocent in season 1 would actually be a better outcome for him! yes, akio "expected" being voted innocent, but i think that deep inside he would still have a feeling that the guards will vote him guilty, so he would find being forgiven very confusing. he would try his best not to show it though and he would try to act like "it was supposed to be this way", but on the inside? the boy would be shocked and would try to understand the guards' reasoning. as for being voted guilty in season 2, i've said before that linagram characters won't die until all trials are over and i intend to keep my word, but i think that akio would definitely be in a terrible condition and he probably wouldn't even be able to talk properly in his third voice drama. it would be interesting to see canon!aimi trying to do the talking for him maybe?.. i'm not sure how that would work, but it'd be fun and it would show how dependent on her he's become.

aimi: being voted guilty in s1 wouldn't. be good for her. probably. depends on what you think is good for her. eiji's punishment for her would be not allowing her to talk to any of the other prisoners, otherwise she'd be punished in some other way, most likely physically. even if the prisoners themselves try to talk to her, she wouldn't be allowed to respond. she would also be not allowed to spend time with them in any way, so even if all prisoners are eating in the cafeteria, eiji would just bring the food to aimi so that she can't even come to see the prisoners. being isolated from everyone in this way wouldn't be good for a girl who's obsessed with the concept of friendship as you can imagine. she would act a lot more mean and she would also claim that eiji is simply taking advantage of his power and using it to torture a poor girl who was a victim of bullying (and yes she WOULD say that her classmates bullied her. mostly to make eiji feel bad for her) her relationship with akio in this case is an interesting topic because if she's not allowed to interact with the prisoners, how would she save canon!akio from his suicide attempt? i imagine that aimi would risk being punished and still save him, but not really because she's that kind, she would just use akio to make the guards realize that she's actually "better than they think" and that they should forgive her. if she got voted guilty in s2, again, she would be mad at the guards, especially if she was voted inno in s1. i can imagine that her reaction would be similar to canon!shun's, so she would be like "hey what did i do wrong why would you betray me like this".

shun: honestly, i'm glad that he got voted inno because his s1 punishment would be very similar to hinode's :'D basically eiji would use some kind of drug on him to make shun's memory even worse but it would backfire and shun wouldn't remember LITERALLY ANYTHING. i think he would even forget that he's human. it all depends on the other prisoners' verdict combinations, but i think that if someone else tried to take care of shun, it would be eiko except eiko is a horrible woman (affectionate AND derogatory) and she would take advantage of his memory loss and shun literally wouldn't be able to function without her. if shun got voted innocent in s2, i think he would be pleased to see guilty prisoners experiencing memory loss and he would go "SEE NOW YOU'RE JUST LIKE ME" at them. his treatment of female prisoners would get worse and when it comes to his relationship with canon!eiko, he would try to make HER depend on him since she got voted guilty in s2. she would be very reluctant, but she'd eventually agree because it feels nice to be taken care of, even if it's.. like this.

naomi: if she got voted guilty in s1, her punishment would be.. very interesting because it would be directly related to another prisoner. eiji would force asahi and naomi to spend as much time together as possible, i imagine he would go as far as making them share a cell. they wouldn't be allowed to talk to anyone else (not counting the guards) and i think he'd just scare them with a physical punishment like in aimi's case. yes, that would be weird if asahi got voted innocent, but i honestly think eiji wouldn't care about asahi's verdict and he would still be completely okay with using him for naomi's punishment. if she got voted innocent in s2, i think she would become a LOT more confident and even proud of what she's done. would go full child killer mode and try to turn asahi's life into hell but. miki is out there

kei: if he got voted innocent in s1, he'd find it funny and would claim that it's the proof of eiji's love for him since he'd obviously forgive his older brother no matter what, right? but like akio, he'd find it a little.. confusing. because hey, eiji, you voted him inno because you love him, right? not because you feel bad for him? not because you think kei is pathetic and weak and should be protected? his relationship dynamics with others depend a lot on everyone's verdict combos so please feel free to ask questions about the specific ones! if he got voted guilty in s2, memory loss would be really bad for his already unstable mental state, but i also think something would go. wrong in kei's brain during the procedure and he'd become a tiny bit obsessed with hinode because he's so used to the concept of physical pain being the proof of love that hinode torturing him in a psychological way would feel very new and exciting, like i think kei with his "love = pain" mindset would think hinode just confessed his feelings for him right there. i can imagine kei also begging hinode to hurt him physically as well in his third voice drama and overall becoming more masochistic.

eiko: guilty would actually be her canon s1 verdict and i remember being a bit surprised when she got voted inno :'D eiji's punishment for her would be.. i want to say that it would be bad, but considering how he would punish shun and some other prisoners, this one ACTUALLY SOUNDS KINDA TAME COMPARED TO THEM. eiji would cut eiko's hair, making her look like a mess and he would also spill hot water on her skin causing burns to appear. y-yeah. eiko would accept her punishment and would be surprisingly chill about it and she would say that it just proves how "eager" eiji was to punish someone as pretty as her. i also can imagine her obsession with eiji getting worse as well because eiji keeping his promise and actually punishing her proves how "perfect" he is. her dynamics with shun and kei would depend on their verdicts a lot, but i actually think guilty!eiko would be more focused on eiji than them. her being voted innocent in s2 wouldn't change her personality much, i think she'd honestly act more or less the same, though i can actually see her being a little disappointed in eiji because of him going easy on her all the time, haha. but she would still love him.

asahi: OH THIS IS A BAD ONE like i was honestly relieved when he was voted innocent in s1.. so um. we all know that his theme is hunger right. and that he's happy as long as he "has food to eat and toys to play with" right. u-um. well. eiji's punishment for asahi would be basically leaving asahi to starve. asahi wouldn't be allowed to eat anything and he would be allowed to only eat extremely small amounts of food and only if he was like. clearly about to die soon. yes, i like to make fun of eiji's obsession with punishing everyone and i also often mention that eiji is a victim of abuse and that's why he's like this, but eiji is a terrible, terrible person and he WOULD go that far just for the sake of his personal "justice". miki would secretly bring food to asahi though and eiji would find out and they would have a really bad fight because of it. if naomi was also voted guilty, i can imagine naomi (because she's also a terrible person. just like most people here) eating in front of asahi and torturing him this way. god she's insane. if asahi was voted guilty in s2, i think it'd depend a lot on his s1 verdict, but if he was also not forgiven in s1, the boy would be BROKEN. he was left to starve and now the guards are playing with his memories. i also think his relationship with miki would be a lot less wholesome because he would be attached to her since miki is still the only one who would care about him, but he would wonder why the girl keeps voting him guilty if she claims she wants to save him.. if he was forgiven in s1, he would be DEVASTATED because that means miki betrayed him. if asahi got voted guilty at least once, i think his hallucinations would get worse and he'd hear and/or see his "real mother" more often. it'd be even more sad if eventually she stopped looking similar to miki..

yurika: OH YURIKA!! yurika was actually supposed to get an inno verdict in s1 and i was really surprised when she got voted guilty. if she got voted inno, she'd be like "oh i knew the guards will realize that i'm the real victim!" and she'd act more confident and she'd act a lot more like what kind of person she used to be before her parents kicked her out. sooo basically mean rich girl. however, on the inside her feelings would be more complicated bc at the same time she still wants to laugh at miki and say that the girl is just trying to make yurika trust her, but also... miki is so nice to her.. miki reminds her of takame so much.. ehehe.. what should she do.. if canon!yurika was voted innocent in s2, she'd be surprised, but she wouldn't be able to be truly happy about it, because the guards already voted her guilty once and they can definitely do it again. she would also find it funny and she would ask miki something like "do you really hate eiji that much" since voting yurika inno after she broke eiji's arm would definitely be a Choice. and if inno!yurika got voted guilty in s2, well. she'd be really mad! and she would also realize that miki is not the same as takame and that no one will save yurika in this place and she has only herself to rely on.

riku: riku was actually supposed to get voted guilty in s1 and honestly it would be very similar to what happened to him after he got voted innocent. riku would, ironically, be very scared of what eiji could do to him so he would decide to hurt or even kill himself before eiji could get to him. his injury would be very serious and it would be a miracle for him to survive and i think arisu would be the one to take care of it, since he also treated akio's head injury after akio got voted inno. because of that, riku wouldn't be able to leave his cell and talk to others and eiji would call that a perfect punishment for him because it means that riku can't get any attention from others (and also it would be a cool riku and hinode parallel since well.. hinode spent all his time in bed bc of his health issues and still got a lot of attention and now riku has to do the same but nobody cares about him...) miki would try to spend as much time with him as possible though and riku would become very attached to her since she would be the only source of attention for him. if canon!riku got voted inno in s2, he wouldn't be sure what to do, because he'd still feel like the guards are forgiving him because they feel bad for him so he just needs to continue hurting himself to get out of milgram, but he would also start to get thoughts like ".. maybe they actually do think i was in the right". his self-harming tendencies would still be there, but he would slowly try to control them and if akio was voted innocent in that case as well, he'd try to help riku with it. it still wouldn't be a perfect verdict though bc riku would just think driving his friend to suicide is all good and okay and morally correct.

reina: reina's a very interesting case! i think if the guards voted her guilty, reina would be relieved at first, but then she would literally feel like that one post that went something like "you fell for the character's facade that the viewers were supposed to see through"?.. like, she wouldn't know if she's supposed to be jumping in joy or look the guards in the eyes and go "god you are so dumb". she'd try to understand if they really think reina's crime is bad or that the guards just didn't want to bother. as for eiji's punishment for her, i think eiji would be sure that physical punishment wouldn't matter much to reina (and he'd be right), so instead he would simply force her not to talk about her crimes outside of trials. however, reina wouldn't find that scary and she'd keep her serial killer act and eiji would also not be able to punish her physically since the girl is literally not scared of him and she'd be okay with him doing something to her, and that's boring to him. so yeah, honestly, he'd just ignore her. if she got voted guilty again, her behavior would depend on other prisoners' verdicts, i think. if their verdicts made sense to reina, i think she'd actually believe that the guards do think she deserves punishment and she would accept it and even give up AND SHE WOULDN'T TRY TO LEARN MORE ABOUT MILGRAM. but if their verdicts sounded weird to reina, she'd realize the guards don't know what they're doing and she'd start to act a lot like canon!reina.

some bonus info!

i believe that if the verdict combinations were different, we'd still get a lot of the current notable relationship dynamics like 030506, 0109, miki and riku, miki and yurika, eiko and eiji, naomi and asahi, the guard and prisoner siblings, etc, but i think some prisoners would interact more, like i can imagine a scenario where yurika could become interested in naomi since "haha she's still looking for a pretty older woman to date" and naomi wouldn't have any feelings for her at all, but she'd manipulate yurika and possibly even use her to hurt asahi. i also think that asahi and miki's relationship wouldn't be as strong if he kept getting voted guilty. we also could have more insane reimiki yuri if miki kept voting reina guilty. imagine

had a conversation about gym class with my friend who I went to school with today - it was depressing but also nice to hear that her experience with it (at that particular school) was just as bad as mine.

I don't think the way my school treated gym class was entirely normal tbh. it was completely different to the school I went to after, anyway. and everyone I talked to there only knew gym class to be a pretty fun, lighthearted thing. at my old school it was only about achievement, you had to be perfect, if not you were usually yelled at. and if you couldn't participate because you were feeling a bit ill (but not enough to stay home from school) you were ridiculed and/or insulted in front of the whole class. this happened with every gym teacher we had over the whole 9 years there.

it felt like two hours of punishment, there was nothing good about it. and it made at least the both of us feel like any kind of exercise/sport, especially in a group setting, was terrifying - for years after. even my much more positive experience at the other school I went to didn't make that go away.

Riddle: "... Don't tell me this outfit was chosen with 'Goldfish' as a motif."

Georgina: "Could it be that you dislike goldfish?"

Riddle: "No, that's not the case. I have no complaints about this outfit, and I actually like it. It's just that... Much to my distaste, I'm called a goldfish because I'm apparently 'small and red'."

Omg poor Riddle. 😭 It's so funny but I feel bad that he hates being called small and red lol

Georgina: "Oh, is that so? Hahaha, that boy... Please, forgive his rudeness. But that's not all that a goldfish is."

Georgina: "Goldfish in captivity are rather tiny, but when released into the wild, I heard they could grow gigantic."

Riddle: "Gigantic?! So goldfish still have room to grow..."

Jade: *SNORTS*

Riddle: "Jade. Why did you laugh just now."

DHDUISAHDIOA I love how the intention was that Riddle could be the very best he could be if only he could be freed from his cage, but Riddle just took it as... the possibility of a growth spurt. 💀 And Jade laughed at him and told him that it's wonderful that people are free to chase after their dreams. 💀

[SKZ] Being their stylist

Could you imagine? God, I'd die.

Notes: I've heard rumor that you've gotta be married to be an idol stylist because,, obviously they don't want dating shit happening but we are DISREGARDING THAT HERE. i couldn't find the recolored vers. of seungmin & innie so... oh well ig. Genre: Fluff Pairing: OT8 x NB!Reader Warnings: Extra fluffy cuteness I guess

Chan:

Sits so patiently and tells you to take your time

You're his favorite stylist. He loves when you're the one who does his makeup so sometimes he requests specifically you

You're just so gentle with him and it feels like he's really being pampered

He loves the way you make his eyes so smokey for stage looks

Keeps his posture good in an effort to impress you

Does that little :] face with his eyes closed because you're just so pleasant to him

Minho:

Falls asleep every time you do his hair

You tell him to keep his head up only to figure out he's sleeping so soundly and you just don't have the heart to wake him when he's on such a tight schedule lately

Jeongin has a LOT of pictures of you bending at funny angles to style Minho's hair while his head is tipped back or to the side

(And one of you pretending to kiss his cheek as he's mid-waking up)

He wakes up feeling so pretty every time you style him

Sleeps with his mouth open like an idiot (me too)

Changbin:

Likes to make you laugh while you style him in outfits

He poses each time you put him in a new jacket and maybe it's just an excuse to flex in front of you oops who said that

He's giggling right alongside you until he accidentally rips a shirt open

The buttons fly right off and he screams, covering his bare chest as you burst into laughter at how silly he sounded and how he scrambled to cover himself up

You get him a new shirt but he's extra careful after that and his ears are beet red

He'll never forgive himself for embarrassing himself in front of you

But he's also an idiot and will forget about it, and probably does it again the next day because he can't help himself

Hyunjin:

Likes to ask what you're doing while you do it

Has not a CLUE what you're talking about when it comes to makeup but listens intently anyways because it's interesting

Any form of art is interesting to him and that includes makeup !

His brows furrow and he nods and he stares at you while you talk which can sometimes be intimidating

Also kind of sucks at sitting through makeup because he's so talkative with the boys

He's also very loud but he tones it down when he talks to you and uses a softer voice with you

Is very happy to listen to you explain makeup to him but also ,,, tell him what contour is again?

Jisung:

He likes to give you complete freedom when it comes to his outfits

Put whatever you want on him; mens, womens, any clothing you think would look good

You were the one who put him in that grey cropped long sleeve a while ago and people went CRAZY so since then he's trusted you with everything

He loves the outfits you make!!

And the ones you wear because he totally checks you out ALL the damn time!!

Sometimes he even asks if he can take pieces home so he can incorporate them into his daily wear and if he does, he tags you in his insta pics - to which you have to tell him 'I didn't make this, tag the brand!!!' and he just laughs

Felix:

Please tell him makeup tips, he's so curious and he wants to start doing his own makeup too

Sometimes he does, for airports and stuff. But that's just a cushion and some powder

Tell him what color eyeshadows look pretty with his eyes, tell him how blush placement changes the shape of his face and the tone of his look

He's going to be asking questions and, if he has access to one, looking at the details up close in a handheld mirror he keeps hold of

It's intimidating to be honest but he's so smiley and chatty with you that your nerves fade away pretty quickly

He also just thinks you're really really gorgeous so he might use it as an excuse to look up at you more. He's examining the makeup you're wearing, that's all !!

Seungmin:

He's got this horrible habit of staring at you through the mirror while you do his hair

He loves the haircut, don't get him wrong, but it looks like he's feeling everything BUT that because of the way he sort of glares

Well - not glares. He just has this RBF that is untouched by anyone else in the world

If you look at him, he looks away and scrolls on his phone, but shortly after he's back to staring

You're just really attractive is all. And he likes your hair, too - so maybe some day he'll take inspiration from that if you allow him

Also the type to fall asleep while you cut his hair because the spray bottle and little scissor cutting sounds are just so soothing

Jeongin:

Is very compliant when you do his makeup

He sits still, he's patient, he only turns his head away when he knows you're changing something up on the table

He keeps his head up and knows when to close his eyes, when to look up, when to part his lips for balm and tint

Very well behaved, one might say

But it's because when you're doing the other's makeup, he's paying close attention. He's always watching you and trying to find ways to impress you without actually making it obvious that that's what he's trying to do

He starts bringing you your favorite snack because he notices it sitting on your makeup table while on tour

He likes to talk to you while you do his makeup but he's a little bit shy about it - he's not openly chatty like Felix or Hyunin

And the day he calls you his favorite stylist you swear your heart almost explodes

Married life

Dr. Jack Abbot x wife!reader

voilence against healthcare workers (not graphic), fluff, mild angst, Jack Abbot needs a hug

Summary: When Jack‘s wife is it hit by a patient a worried Jack only comes close behind.

Words: 1.1k

A/N: Heyy, so I just finished watching the Pitt and I am in love with Jack Abbot, I already have a few other ideas in my drafts, hope you enjoy this little piece of writing I came up with. I hope you enjoy and disclaimer he might be a bit ooc so please forgive me.

A sigh escaped her lips as she looked at Dana, the ice pack pressed against her cheek.

„Robby wants you to get an x-ray, he thinks you might have broken something.“ Dana said as the bustle of the ED continued around them. A loud sigh escaped her as she looked at the charge nurse.

„Can I even get out of that or has he already put me in line for one?“ she asked, a low hiss escaping her as she pulled away the ice pack, gently touching the forming bruise on her face, the skin was hot and she knew that the possibility of her having a broken bone was not zero, she was a doctor as well after all.

„He already put you in line for one,“ she paused, „You can be glad Whitaker caught you, otherwise he would have made you get a CT as well.“ Dana smirked slightly as she grumbled.

A patient had hit her, full force in the face. He had not even been agitated before, he had nodded and listened, been very friendly and attentive of what she told him, but after she had told him that he would have to stay in hospital for observation he had lashed out.

„Do you want me to call Jack?“ Dana asked, she froze at the question, Santos and Whitaker had stopped talking at the mention of her husband‘s name. Only a few people knew she was married to Jack Abbot, there were multiple reasons for that, however one of the biggest was that it was funny to leave people guessing. She knew there was a betting pool regarding her relationship status and it looked like that pool would soon be empty.

„Don‘t you fucking dare, Dana.“ she hissed under her breath, she knew that Jack would already lose his shit when he saw her later when she came back home from her shift. “It‘s his day off, he shouldn‘t have to worry about me getting punched by some bastard.“ she pushed her ice pack back on her cheek, feeling the sting of the cold stronger than before.

Suddenly the staff door swung open, hitting the wall loudly, a loud groan escaped her as she saw her husband standing in the doorway. He looked around and stalked towards the nurses‘ station, he was in civilian clothes, cargo pants and a black t-shirt that looked like it was definitely the one that said army vet on the back of it.

“What are you doing here?“ she asked before Dana was able to say anything. From the corner of her eye she could see that Santos and Whitaker had moved in closer, probably to get a listen in on the conversation.

„Robby called me, told me that a patient hit you.“ Jack was now standing beside her, his hand was twitching, she knew that it was stressing him out, throwing caution to the wind she gently took his hand with her free one.

„It‘s okay, I am doing fine.“ she sighed as she squeezed his hand, smiling up at him from where she was sitting.

„Did you hit your head when you fell?“ he asked, an annoyed sigh escaped her as the question came from him.

„Jack, I am fine! I didn‘t hit the ground, Whitaker caught me.“ she explained as she looked over at where Santos and Whitaker were standing. Jack followed her gaze and saw Whitaker looking at them, he gave him a double thumbs up, then turned back to her.

„We are going home after your x-ray.“

—————————-

Jack had been true to his word; they had actually gone home after her x-ray, nothing broken, surprisingly enough. Now she sat on the sofa, another ice pack on her face, half laying on Jack‘s stomach, half leaning against the couch. She could hear the police scanner crackling in the background of their living room.

„Mind if I order take out?“ Jack muttered as he continued to rub his stump. She let out a laugh, wincing as her cheek hurt a lot more again.

„Since when do I mind take out, Jack?“ she nuzzled her face into his stomach, the soft fabric of the shift warm against her face. A small smile on her lips as she thought that their entire relationship had started with take out and sitting in his apartment after a rough shift, even when she had been a resident.

„Don‘t know, Indian or Chinese, or do you want to try that new Thai place two blocks away?“ he asked, pulling out his phone from his pocket. A groan escaped her lips.

„Jack, I don‘t care, just get us something to eat.“ she sighed, not snapping at him, but the decision fatigue was hitting her hard at that moment. Usually she still had some energy left to decide these things, but right now she couldn‘t.

„Alright, Indian it is,“ he muttered, „The usual?“ it was more to confirm than to really ask her about it.

„Please,“ she muttered as she sat up slightly. They would get it delivered today, usually they walked to get it, but today was not the day.

Finally the food arrived, sitting on the floor of the living room at the coffee table they ate, chatting quietly.

„You know I love you, right?“ she asked, glancing at Jack who looked like he just wanted to go to bed.

„Yeah, I know,“ he nodded, looking up at her she could see his face, her heart clenched at the sight, he was gutted. „You know how scared I was when Robby told me you were attacked by a patient?“

„Yeah, sorry. I didn‘t want them to bother you with that,“ she looked back at the samosas sitting in front of her. Guilt settled in her stomach as she looked at him, she knew it freaked him out, and he also knew that it was not the last time she would be attacked by a patient, it would happen again in the future.

„No,“ he shook his head, „I was glad when Robby told me it wasn‘t serious and I was even happier that he called me,“ he gently took her hand over the table. Squeezing it carefully, squeezing it back she smiled at her husband.

„I love you too,“ he whispered, his eyes shimmering in the dim light of the living room, as she looked at him she knew that it was more than that. She knew that look, it had been the one he had given her during their wedding night, when he had held her tightly, trying to make them melt together. It was devotion and admiration, the deep longing he had to be close to her always reflecting in his eyes in moments like this.
