therapeutic thump

Hi, everybody!

I sort of fell off the face of the earth in mid-November, partly because I got sick (and kept getting sick) and couldn't shake it, partly because I had a number of pressing obligations to family members and at work, and partly because I felt like I had no free time to think at all.

It was a pattern that had borne thinking upon.

Additional Tags: POV First Person, First Kiss, Pining
Summary:

When I had fallen in love before, it was always a fleeting dream that was soon broken by awakening, as I’m sure some poet or other has said. Jeeves would know the one. I’d meet a topping girl, spin her around the dancefloor a few times, and pour my heart out on the floor. Generally she’d leave it to be mopped up, or if not, her family would have something to say about her joining her fate to mine, or a better prospect for her would come along, and no hard feelings had on either side. All in all I spent more time avoiding the sponge bag trousers than hoping to put them on.

The conclusion is that I am susceptible to beauty, but not steadfast. Just because it was male beauty should not, I decided as my hammering heart slowed, make a difference. The sight of Jeeves in all his glory had simply taken me as off-guard as Florence’s profile in the moonlight.

I should just ride it out for a few days, and I’d be safe.
