Title: Matters of the Heart 18 From Maura to Alan: 9 Rating: PG Word Count: 196 Pairing: Kel/Maura Fight: 3/B Summary: Maura worries for Alan. Series co-written with lisafer.
Alan,
First you read into my words something that isn't there, and then you read out of my words something that is. Then you remind me what a stupid position you are in on the border, and really, what is a girl to do? How can I persist in being cross with you? (and you are wrong about my "pretending" to be angry)
I fear Kel grows restless, stationed at one point doing not very much, when there is so much else to be done nearby. I will have to let her go soon, but I cannot make myself quite yet. It is a smallness in me, I suppose, but I cannot quite reconcile to two of my favourites going to the same cause. There, you see, it is a smallness about me that I cannot confess to her, for I know she will think less of me. Equally, it is a burden I may confide in you, for I know there is little that will make you think less of me.
Yours in the small and big ways (and do hurry with this response, so I can rest easy about this raid you suspected!), Maura.

Your "how can I be cross with you?" reads in my head very much like Marianne's "what was she to do?" in the end of Sense & Sensibility, when it's revealed that she marries Brandon. (and I mean that as a compliment, of course!)

Unintentional, but you know that's the sort of comparison that appeals to me
