Title: Mr Fix It
Rating: PG
Length: 164
Competitor: Raoul
Summary: I hope you didn't catch a tan, hope you find the right man.
...
Because she isn’t in love with him, she doesn’t let them speak when they sleep together (and is there a more ironic euphemism?), closes her eyes, her mouth – no kissing, because she might as well set herself alight as let them share the same air – permits no touching other than what is strictly required.
In her more disenchanted moments, she thinks, I am waiting to see when he will disappear.
Except he always comes back.
She knows he can’t love her, though, even so. She was his squire once, and if he did, he would have reached out to her a long time ago, when she would have been able to reach back, and he never did, so he doesn’t now.
She knows he can’t love her, because in that time, when she could have reached back, he had reached for Buri instead.
And she is the lady of Goldenlake. She is the mother of his children.
She is the one he sleeps with.
