"The what now?"

"All your words are one emphasized syllable. Mine all go dah-DAH-dah. And Darren's go DAH-dah."

Permalink

"... Huh! Okay, that's weird jargon but now I understand what you're talking about."

Permalink

"If you've ever heard about 'iambic pentameter' as in the thing Shakespeare does, similar deal - dah-DAH dah-DAH dah-DAH dah-DAH dah-DAH end of line."

Permalink

"Huh! Okay. Cool. That sounds like it's super hard to do, props to Shakespeare."

Permalink

Bella giggles. "He didn't do it all the time. But yes."

Permalink

"I think she just learned more from that than she has in several years of English class," marvels Darren.

Savannah sticks her tongue out at him, and then goes back to eating lots of ice cream.

Permalink

"Well, I am planning to major in education, if not specifically literature education."

Permalink

"And now if you ever need to apply for a job in education if not-Hogwarts falls through, just tell them you taught my sister about iambic pentameter. They'll hire you on the spot."

Permalink

"A truly impressive line item on my resume."

Permalink

"People might not believe you about it, actually, it's so unheard of. You might need to drag Savannah along to confirm it."

Permalink

"Ah, too much hassle, I will just become a truck driver."

Permalink

Darren laughs. "All right. Too bad, now no one will know your abilities." Snuggle, snuggle.

Permalink

Snuggle!

Soon enough, Savannah finishes her ice cream. The entire tub of it.

"Okay, I am going to go watch a movie. Bye, snugglebunnies."

Wave. Then she goes.
Permalink
Darren waves back.

He snuggles Bella. Then, he says, "Hey, uh, Bella?"
Permalink

Snuggle. "Mmm?"

Permalink
Randomly, he seems to be nervous. He fidgets, a little. "Um - okay, um, just going to say it - I love you."

Fidget, fidget, oh look there's the return of shyness.
Permalink
Bella kisses him.

"I love you too."
Permalink
Well that's the best possible answer!

Kiss. Snuggly kiss.
Permalink

Yaaaay snuggly kisses.

Permalink
The best kind!

He laughs a little. "You know I'm pretty sure I've been in love with you for a while now, I just - didn't realize it."
Permalink

"I have no such excuse, I have been since April and was waiting for you to say something first."

Permalink

Darren sporfles. "Have you really? You weren't afraid of how I was going to react, were you?"
