“There’s something rather moving about these two warriors getting together….It makes complete sense.  It was kind of that domesticated, familial relaxation between old friends and then we look at each other….It’s been right in front of me the whole time….Danai was brilliant and so funny on set and said, ‘Let’s just go for this; I don’t want to talk about it too much.  Let’s just go for it.’  We wanted it to be these two grownups and warriors who love and respect each other.  That’s a given.  And then they get completely surprised in this moment.  And then they look at each other and say, ‘Of course.’  That was the transition we wanted: for it to be sexy, committed, and key.  We wanted it to be different, and grown-up, and very relaxed and natural.  That’s what we were fighting for.  It’s that kiss.  It’s the kiss.” Andrew Lincoln

“When the scene starts and he gets home, she’s waiting for him to get home.  He’s out, it’s dark; she wants him home.  The idea that he gets home and the one thing she wants to do is go plop on the couch next to him and spend time with him - in my head I was laughing, because she’s in love with him and she doesn’t even realize it.  That day finally allows her to be emotionally available enough to find out what’s behind that wall.  Honestly, I don’t think she realizes it until that moment….That was the one day her heart finally got in the driver’s seat and was allowed to navigate the moment….It just felt - the word that Andy used, and I totally agree with - natural.  It really did feel like the natural progression of where our characters were to be next….The reason why there are these expressions of joy when they’re kissing is because there’s something bursting out of them that’s new, and they realize, ‘Oh my God, this is a really special friend of mine that I actually want to be intimate with in a whole other way, and it makes total sense.’…She knows she’s in the safest place in the world with the person she wants to be with most in the world.  It’s just joy.” Danai Gurira

Contractions of the Heart by Richonne4Life

😂 So yeah, it’s been a minute since the last Contractions of the Heart update, but I’ve been editing the next chapter when I can. To anyone still waiting on it, here’s a snippet from the beginning of Chapter 24: 2FNSXY (Hopefully, the formatting holds up.)

“Given these particularly challenging circumstances, it’s a completely organic reaction for everyone at this table to be experiencing feelings of discomfort, distrust, anger, and resentment,” a blonde woman who I’d never seen or met before said entirely too passionately to be someone who I’d never seen or met before. “As justifiable as those very valid feelings may be, I believe we can choose another way forward guided by our empathy, and compassion, and—”
