Alright, so I'm deeply sorry for not being active here, because I really don't have time to write everyday, I usually just sit down and write 1000 words in one session. But I've managed to write a bit yesterday, and I'm still writing today, so I'm going to report for yesterday in this message, and I'll report for today in another one! Here's a small excerpt:
And when he does, Tomas always greets him with the same warm smile, a shy letter like the ones he used to write, except this one doesn’t feel like a shameful secret; it’s an open invitation, and he hopes Marcus can read it on his silent lips, on the way they curve upward whenever the man comes into his field of view, as if they’re begging him, hi, please come talk to me, I’ve missed you.
Sometimes, it seems like Marcus is just here to chat with Tomas. Sometimes, he doesn’t even get a book, or he forgets it on the counter, and Tomas found a game in trying to guess how long it will take for Marcus to remember about the book he was supposed to buy. The longest so far has been one entire day, as Marcus came back the following morning, having apparently only realized about the forgotten book during the middle of the night. In all honesty, Tomas finds it adorable.
Day 15, tall-skinny-scottish/Eva, around 700 words
