Title:: Love and Hate Rating: PG Prompt: walk the line Category: 100 words drabble Word count: 100 Summary: Delia walks a delicate line between two things she loves, and two things that give her pain.
-----
There’s a fine line between pleasure and pain. Yes. She knew that well.
It gave her greater pleasure to serve the Duke of Conté. The handsome and talented Roger offered her all the power she ever wanted. But it pained her to know that in serving Roger, she’s betraying Prince Jonathan.
Jonathan made a part of her come alive with warmth, a part that she’d never really knew existed. But it pained her to know that he would never look at her like he looked at Alanna.
Love and hate, hate and love. Delia didn’t know the difference any more.

Wow, nicely done! This is a really good look at what's going on inside Delia's head, and I think you've written it perfectly.

I can absolutely see her thinking this way. Very nice.

This is lovely - I love that you've humanized Delia, and brought out her softer side!

Thank you all. I'm glad it worked, because I really don't write Delia at all usually.
