@bekkasan I was so excited to read this once our family Zoom Christmas program had ended. :blush: (It was lovely. <3 )
I'm sure it felt wonderful to Bekka to have someone she could finally open up to about her old boyfriend and what he did, who would truly listen and sympathize. (Someone who isn't family. There's just a certain kind of healing in that...)
I love how much Jamie just wanted to hold her during the whole conversation. <3 Such a sweetheart, and a man that is very much falling in love. ;)
All I wanted in that moment was to hurt him. I'm a genie for crying out loud. You don’t **** with us.
^I read that and was like, "Daaaang girl!" :open_mouth: (the censored word that popped into my mind was the word I'm
pretty sure she said! :lol: ) I mean, I could really feel her rage! And even the heartache. :cry: Rightly so! However, she's gotta give herself credit for holding back on obliterating that SOB because that took
a lot of willpower in that moment! :star:
Hee hee, I chuckle once again hearing about him and his lady friend getting frostbite in certain...areas... :smirk: :lol:
Kudos to Renauld for sending him packing!
What Bekka said next to Jamie was beautiful. And I wanted to hug her too. <3 That's the hardest part of forgiveness...forgiving yourself.
Hands down to what Jamie said in response to it all. :star: He's SO right! Of course it won't be easy...and I can understand why Bekka said she doesn't want to forget so she doesn't make the same mistakes. That is wise.
I know we are going to be great friends, maybe more than friends some day and yes, I just said that out loud. I care about you and I'm willing to take my time with you. You are worth it. You have to forgive yourself since I’ve forgiven you. I can help you with that if you will allow me."
^Oh my goodness, bold, but I LOVE it! I love the sincerity of it. Love it. Love it. Love it! <3 <3 <3 Awwwww!
Yeah seriously, Jamie needs to check his family history and see if there's occult blood in him. ;)
Bekka looks over at Jamie and nods her head. "ok, but, if you hurt me I will ensorcel you and make you clean the cat box for the next year."
^Hee hee. :mrgreen: (And ensorcel, I think I learned a new word. :) )
So...did he use some kind of an empath ability on her? (I don't think it would be a form of hypnotizing...?) This is a surprising ability he has, but awesome! And I like it! :smiley: How very loving and selfless of him to take away her anger, fears, and worries and willfully carry them for her. A true act of friendship and love. <3
"Thank you Jamie. I do feel much better. How do you remove all that emotion and stay sane?"
"I send it deep inside of me, and it dies so it cannot affect me."
^I wondered about this too so, sweet! ?
Jamie's pose! :lol: And that picture she drew of him was adorable. :blush:
Liam called him for an emergency huh? Darn their date had to be cut short, but what a wonderful one it turned out to be. <3
Aww, Damien loved the movie just as much as Mary did. They really are so perfect for each other. <3 (Both of these couples are so perfect for each other. :blush: )
I await reading about the conversation they have outside by the outdoor heaters. :blush: And what might happen. :smirk:
Beautiful chapter! So very very well written! :star: I could really feel the emotions of each character, especially with Bekka and Jamie. :)
More soon please. :mrgreen:
