Twelve pages today. Nothing yesterday, or nothing I kept. If I’d written yesterday, I would have had a fight between Anita and Richard. But instead of working on the book I did my essay for the next fan club newsletter. Something I needed to do, and it delayed the fight. I didn’t want the fight. Richard didn’t want the fight, not really. Anita didn’t want the fight. I spent Friday steeling myself for it, then this morning first thing before tea even, I knew how to avoid the fight. At least how to avoid a huge fight that would be such a rift between them that Anita and Richard would be fighting the whole rest of the book. So I made some notes, finished breakfast, and now we are twelve pages further into the book, and Anita and Richard are NOT at each other’s throats. In fact the last scene ends with her letting him comfort her, and him willing to do it. Yea!
I swear sometimes I feel like a marriage counselor for these two. And please, do not get on the internet and say I said, that Richard and Anita are getting married in this book. They are not getting married. Nobody is getting married to my knowledge. Anita and Richard are one of those couples that needs a therapist before the walk down the isle is even in sight. Not a good sign, but for now we’re not fighting, and I’ll take it. Today we won the battle, the war is still on-going, but I’ll take any relationship victory I can get for my two star-crossed-lovers.
