WHEN DO PEOPLE SEE YOU?
THEY SEE YOU WHEN YOU LET THEM.     your beauty lies locked away. you don't open up easily. the true beauty of your being is hidden somewhere only few can see. trust is perhaps one of the hardest things to give someone but it would be a shame to keep all your thoughts and feelings a secret forever.

it’s in his kiss | julia quinn.
“And suddenly Gareth realised that some things did come in a flash. And there were some things one simply knew without being able to explain them. Because as he stood there watching her, all he could think was—No.”

“I can’t bear this halfway existence,” he said, his voice so low she wasn’t certain she’d heard correctly. 
All she could manage to say was, “Why?” 
At first she didn’t think he was going to respond. His posture became impossibly taut, and then he began to shake. Her hand rose to cover her mouth. 
Was he crying? Could he be… 
Laughing? 
“Oh, God, Francesca,” he said, his voice punctuated with derisive laughter. “Now there’s a good one. Why? Why? Why?” He gave each one a different tenor, as if he were testing out the word, asking it to different people.

the  fall  (  2006  )  sentence  starters ↪  taken  from  tarsem  singh’s  visual  fantasy  film.  alter  as  you  see  fit  ♡
“i have a message for you.”
“your note came in, and landed on my lap. couldn’t even understand it. it’s written in gibberish or something.”
“how’d you hurt your arm?”
“i was picking oranges.”
“hey, i can see you. come on out here. i can see you hiding.”
“all right, don’t break your other arm.”
“what’s in your box?”
“he’s got the same gap in his teeth, must run in the family.”
“i’m sorry to hear that.”
“he was lost in the middle of a vast desert, full of orange sand with only a handful of men but they didn’t have any water.”
“i believe your wisdom shall save us all.”
“it’s stupid.”
“what would you do better?”
“hey, why don’t you come back tomorrow … and i’m going to tell
you a different story. an epic tale of love and revenge.”
“you know what “epic” means?”
“you should be fully recovered.”
“in the next couple of weeks the pain should abate, then one more operation.”
“this is going to take some effort on your part, too, you know that?”
“next time, i’ll glue your lips to this and carry you away.”
“if you were trying to impress her … [name] already did a better job.”
“every cloud has a silver lining, that’s for sure.”
“i didn’t throw orange at you.”
“you’re not missing much.”
“will you tell me the story now?”
“all right, close your eyes. what do you see? can you see the stars?”
“it was a starry night …”
“i like him.”
“i don’t know why flamingos are pink.”
“that’s a good guess.”
“but i don’t like pirate stories.”
“i just wanted to know if your friend was a pirate.”
“i need to learn to swim.”
“how sad. the tortures of this world have driven the poor man mad.”
“i just wanna play a little game.”
“are you telling the truth?”
“no. you just said no, you weren’t telling the truth.”
“do you want me to finish the story?”
“please! are you listening to me?”
“i’m sorry i shouted at you. i was angry.”
“are you trying to save my soul?”
“did you understand what i meant?”
“are you worried about me?”
“do you know what “soul” means? it’s like strength …”
“that which has been taken from me can never be replaced.”
“i could’ve saved you, but i was weak.”
“my grief has gone blood-red with revenge.”
“hey! you can’t eat it, it’s poisonous!”
“please don’t run! the poison works faster if you run!”
“you always stop at the same part - when it’s very beautiful and interesting.”
“i’m having a hard time sleeping and i can’t remember that story.”
“i’m asking you as a friend.”
“it’s no different than stealing bread from a church.”
“you look beautiful.”
“you get up! you better get up and show these people you are sleeping.these men will chop you if you don’t get up.”
“you know what i do when something frightens me? i say the magic words. googly, googly, googly, begone.”
“did you get what i sent you for?”
“she doesn’t know anything about him, but he knew everything about her.”
“boys, she’s mine.”
“you read my note.”
“how do you know about the priest and the orange?”
“everybody knows you like throwing oranges at the priest.”
“well, i want you to stay here until you get better.”
“i want to add something to it.”
“what happens to the money if i die?”
“[name], you need to get off this suicide thing.”

“you are someone famous.”
“i hope i never get better.”
“i want to stay here with you.”
“you like chocolate?”
“he’s not my friend.”
“he’s not my friend either.”
“i don’t want to be a bandit.”
“it’s the best part of the story, and since you’re leaving soon, i’d hate for you to spend your whole life … wondering how it turned out.”
“i think he stole it from me.”
“i’ve been on a quest for revenge.”
“i’ve fallen in love with you. but i am consumed with revenge. i’m not a man who can be loved.”
“when i fall asleep, you gotta go. and don’t come back tomorrow.”
“i’m sorry about this.”
“i don’t want you to see me like this.”
“no, i don’t want to make them kiss.”
“i want to look at you until i die.”
“what a mystery this world. one day you love them and the next day … you want to kill them a thousand times over.”
“i’m glad i never kissed you.”
“it says all that on that little locket?”
“first, marriage. and then they can kiss.”
“no wonder the bag was so heavy.”
“yeah. my daughter from a previous marriage.”
“i didn’t recognise you because you have teeth.”
“will you shut up, already?”
“i’ve had enough of you!”
“maybe one day you can take me and introduce me to your friend [name].”
“he’s very sad. he’s lost his girlfriend. he needs to sleep.”
“i’m sure they’re taking very good care of him.”
“that is your responsibility and this is how you treat it.”
“to get better, you gotta have the will and your own desire to live.”
“i heard. everybody’s heard.you’re famous.”
“yeah, they’re angry. but not at you.”
“i didn’t tell anybody about our secret.”
“i should go. you need your rest.”
“the story was just a trick to get you to do something for me.”
“there’s no happy ending with me.”
“she was just pretending to love you.”
“they’re going to find out I’m a fraud!”
“i don’t like this! i don’t like this story.”
“why are you killing everybody?”
“it’s my story.”
“no, but wait a little. wait, please!”
“you are making this up.”
“i want you to see how pathetic he really is.”
“for god’s sakes, the water’s only waist-high.”
“i’m not your father.”
“how pathetic! look at him!”
“there’s nothing left for him.”
“she’ll survive. she’s young.”
“it’s okay. it’s all right. it’s over now.”
“give me a kiss.”
“you do realise it was all a test to see if you truly loved me, don’t you?”
“i’m not feeling very well.”
“we’re a strange pair, aren’t we?”
“did i just miss something?”

Lucy managed a small chuckle. Trust Hyacinth to get to the heart of the matter.
“Does your husband know you’ve become a crusader?” Gregory asked.
“My husband supports me in all things,” Hyacinth said sweetly, not taking her eyes off the tiny swaddled infant in her arms. “Always.”
“Your husband is a saint,” Gregory remarked, cooing at his own little bundle. “Or perhaps merely insane. Either way, we are eternally grateful to him for marrying you.”
“How do you put up with him?” Hyacinth asked, leaning over Lucy, who was really beginning to feel quite strange.

        she can only smile at that, however halfhearted and   slightly pained it might have looked.  evie knew that some of the men at the royal academy schools talked about their models outside of the classroom  ( no specifics that she wanted to actually know about ), but she always assumed it was the women who posed nude that became the avid topic of discussion.  while ballerina models like her had a fair amount of engagements at the academy, the rooms were never as filled as the rooms of her less clothed and unclothed counterparts were.
if it was to avoid more detail with her tutu and bodice or simply that the men wanted something more exciting to look at, evie didn’t know.  but she did think it was nice when one of them was interested in her outside of the classroom; she just unluckily happened to catch the attention of a man that was spoken for, even if he apparently hasn’t made a proper proposal yet.  “the feeling is reciprocated,”  she mutters into her drink before taking a sip.  “but if you ask me, perhaps her ire should be directed more towards her fiancé — it’s not as though i was aware he was practically engaged, after all.”
@enternecers​​’ sophie beckett said : no offense, eve, but i believe you’re the last person she’d like to see.

        “i cannot call her ugly, michael — neither would you.   don’t lie and tell me that miss gratton is not the exact type of lady you’d like to feast your eyes on, as men like you always do.”  if francesca’s last words had any underlying, suggestive meaning for him to pick out, she doesn’t expound on it.  she couldn’t lie either; mabel gratton was quite lovely, though she would have to confess that she didn’t know her very well.  but that didn’t matter since it was michael who had to go through the whole getting-to-know-you conversation that afternoon with mabel, not her.
unfortunately, another gentleman plants himself in front of miss gratton right when frannie slips her arm through michael’s to walk him over.  “oh, they’re quick today,”  she comments, expression apologetic when she looks up at him.  “i’m afraid you will have to bear with me as your companion for a while longer.”  unless he got whisked away by one of his friends or a scheming mama, which was entirely likely.  “but i’m not so boring to speak to, am i?”
@hopefaded​​’s michael stirling said : “don’t say that she’s pretty.”
